So you have your idea.
You’ve done your research.
And you’ve collected your data.
You're probably wondering what type of infographic design will best represent and communicate your information.
As you think about your infographic design, consider these 7 common types of infographics.
Number 1. The List infographic supports a claim through a series of steps. It is best used to support a specific claim or argument. Your list can go from top to bottom, left to right, or it can even move across your canvas!
Number 2. The Comparison or Vs. Infographic compares two things in a head-to-head study. It is best used to highlight differences between two similar things or highlight similarities between two unlike things. It is also used to prove how one option is Superior or inferior to the other option.
Number 3. The flowchart infographic provides a specific answer to reader choices.
It is best used to provide personalized answers for readers or show how multiple situations can reach the same conclusion.
Number 4. A visual article infographic makes a piece of writing more visual. It is best used to cut down on text or make an article more interesting and enjoyable to consume. It also increases sharing potential through social media.
Number 5. The Map Infographic showcases data trends based on location. It is best used to compare places, culture, and people through setting centric data and demographics.
Number 6. The timeline infographic tells a story through chronological flow. It is best used to show how something has changed over time or make a long, complicated story easier to understand. It can also show how one thing leads to another.
Number 7. A Data visualization infographic communicates data through charts and graphs. It can even showcase data through design. It is best used to make data-driven arguments easier to understand and make facts or statistics more interesting to absorb.
These are just a few of the most common types of infographics, but it’s just enough to get you started on that next step of creating and designing your infographic!

I do a lot of infographics for my school's student newsite. I tend to combine a lot of different elements like timelines, maps, and data visualization all in one infographic, but I like the term visual article because I feel like that most accurately describes a lot of my work as it tends to be more writing heavy while using visuals to make it more engaging.

[@bipolartaco9068]

The info graphic that will most help me is the list one, thank you for the amazing advice as always.

[@sohamsaxena2459]

I have to make an infograph on the Topic : Evaporation and factors affecting evaporation, Chemistry; and I think that 1 and/or 3 are most relevant ones.

[@saraha1227]

What software was used to make this video? I want to make a video infograph just like this. Hope to hear back :)

[@Easellytutorials]

Hi. We used a combo of Camtasia and Adobe for our videos on TH-cam.
Pro tip: When using Easelly infographic templates for your video, you can download the infographic image or template from Easelly and use the image as an asset in the video.
If you want to create visual assets for videos that may have a different background color for the video than what is used in the infographic template, choose “transparent background” on the template or image in Easelly. Hope this helps!

[@archanaprabhune6036]

Is there any difference between mind map and infographics

[@Easellytutorials]

Hey there! Mind maps are more specific than infographics because they follow a specific format. . On the other hand, you have more creative freedom with infographics because you can experiment with different formats and layouts.
Either way, you can use both to make your data more engaging and memorable. :)
