How to Make an Infographic Worth a Thousand Words | Visualization Techniques and Practice | Scoop.it

We need to create meaningful infographics that minimize information anxiety by conveying the perspective in the most effective manner. Agencies are tasked with providing creative expressions that connect target audiences with meaningful content -- and infographics are by no means any different.
