This layout and the simple consistent red/gray color scheme allow the statistics to do the work intended. A serious design for a serious issue.

This is a warning, it’s serious, could cause major problems surely we need the graphics to be RED. No! Here we defy convention, with muted, friendly colors.

A timeline concept with no time. A journey path through life with an unmistakable message. Deep reds, ochres, and yellows take us into the African village scene. The contrasting blue/greens highlight the stages of life on the figures. Educational without being heavy-handed, the minimal text under clear unfussy numerical statistics.

Focused marketing infographic, with clear color demarcation. Neatly divided into a beautifully symmetrical design that uses representational symbols and bold fonts to spell out the key message. The addition of the central figure manages to personalize the whole thing and add to the theme.

15. Timeline of the Burger

The genius here is the use of the burger as the timeline by deconstructing it and labeling the individual segments. Design-wise the burger rightly takes the center stage with bright bold colors, fully filling the central column. The timeline headings are the dates giving a real sense of chronology. 

16. Chai is the New Coffee Infographic Example

An unusual graphic using a vintage poster style where the information originally takes the backstage. The lush French Nouveau image fills the graphic making you work to find the text.

20. Phone Addiction Infographic Example

Phone Addiction by Sabrina Lim starts with a headline “Junkies” implying that this issue is not taken seriously enough. By the end of this graphic, the issue is clear. As we follow this graphic from top to bottom through a building that looks like a building we are hit by percentages dominating each turn. The icons are depersonalized, and there are no facial features which leads to the overall sense of dehumanization. A complete piece of focused design.

21. Things You Should Never Say at Work

Amusing caricatures in the same style with color matching the angular speech bubbles. A quick scroll down the page allows the reader to scan and then focus on elements of interest. Each element is then accompanied by two standard sections, keeping the same color match. The differentiated colors make the overall design feel like an individual piece of advice.

The information is separated into sections with big headlines. You can’t get lost, the fonts are clear, and the texts are well organized and spaced.

A circular icon is incorporated into a pie chart, a bar graph within a calendar.

The battle “sales vs marketing” is set in a virtual medieval world with a castle and banners, cool.

Maps, character breakdowns, and flags all work together to complete the theme.

25. Image File Types Infographic Example

Another site comparing two subjects, this time File Types. Using sporting analogies this graphic succeeds in making technical issues accessible to all. An unusable dark brown background serves to complement the brighter images used to support the explanations. The comparisons use a central bar that consists of the 5 file types covered and repeated throughout each individual section.
