This infographic shows off some great design skills and a whole lot of insight into what goes on in a presidential campaign. The red and blue color coding works perfectly for keeping the candidates’ relative statistics distinct, and the wide variety of points of comparison works through a complete set of data. I wish there was a conclusion or summary statement of some sort, though, instead of just ending on the piece of info that happened to be the last.

I really enjoy the illustration throughout, and it helps break up the text. I do feel that each component of the IG could be explained in fewer words, though. It’s also inconsistent whether the data viz is explained before or after the data is displayed, so I get a little lost trying to connect the explanations to the graphics sometimes. The best example is for Organic Search Results: the explanation is below the search results, but above the key for color coding, and is in its own bar across the IG with its own shade of grey. To me that read as a section separation rather than a unifying element, so it took a second to line everything up.

As endearing as all the illustrations are (I really love to see infographics that take big risks with lots of visual interest), I read through the IG a few times and don’t really think the “spooky” theme fits. There’s nothing that ominous about the data itself; it isn’t revealing dark secrets about the candidates or making scary predictions. It feels a bit like the theme was chosen just for the IG to be released around Halloween, rather than it being related to the information. I wish it had been tied in a bit more closely, which would have driven up the humor factor for the IG too.

In all I’d give this infographic a B. A little bit of work on organization and a clearer sense of theme would help this out a lot!

Nobody wants to end up with negative reviews online, but it happens to everyone. Even a perfectly trustworthy company can be destroyed by false posts from a scam board or even a competitor. Having to deal with these false accusations can be frustrating, especially when you’ve never encountered this particular dilemma before. Suppress negative posts about your business before your brand gets tarnished with online reputation management. It’s not an easy task, but the results are truly worth it in the end. Consorte Marketing has put together an infographic to guide you through the process. This online reputation management infographic is a great way to skip all the anxiety, and start actively working towards a proven solution.

This graphic has solid specific tips on how to keep your online reputation from ruining your business–or how to fix a poor reputation. The design is clear, easy to interpret and well organized, and the information is to-the-point. The obvious conclusion is also a positive: we know exactly what to expect from the introduction and we know what the takeaway is from the conclusion.

We typically discourage white backgrounds, though the red border helps to lessen the negative effect (blending in to the background of blogs, web pages etc. where it might be shared). The other main comment is that while this infographic does contain visualized data, there isn’t a lot of it. We see one case study, but no numbers on how important reputation management is to most brands, or the average number of negative reviews a consumer might read before deciding not to buy, etc. A few more numbers scattered throughout could help emphasize the main points. Based on that, I’d give this infographic a B.

This infographic was submitted by Shellshock UK. They provided the following description:

BrightonSEO is one of the best and most loved conferences in the UK. This incredible free event boasts a selection of high-profile leading authority speakers and an element of fun thrown into the day. BrightonSEO commissioned a souvenir poster as a keepsake for speakers and VIP guests. Only a limited edition of 50 prints were made but you can see a digital version here. The infographic outlines the growth of the conference and the historic venue of The Dome in Brighton.

I really like the overall aesthetic of the infographic, though a background other than white would be nice. There is a lot of good data here that illustrates the event. I love the stat about the event selling out faster than Justin Bieber, and the roller coaster chart for 3900% growth is so cute! I’d love to see more actual data visualization like that chart in order to break up all the text in the graphic.

It’s short and sweet, which is important for an infographic that aims to hold the viewer’s attention, but there is so much packed into the small space that it still winds up looking a bit overwhelming. One of the reasons I like the roller coaster chart so much is that that’s where my eye goes–it’s the most unique element, aside from the pier skyline.

Overall I would give this a B-, though, because of the packed appearance and a few missed opportunities for data viz. Adding another few hundred pixels to the length would really help this breath more so that the viewer could really absorb the information. It’s all there, it’s just hard to digest!

This infographic comes to us from Go-Gulf.com and covers a very important topic: SEO. SEO is a pretty complex method of getting websites to rank better in search engines like Google. There have been a lot of great SEO infographics like the Google PageRank Infographic and more. This infographic does a good job of explaining to webmasters exactly why they shouldn’t ignore SEO when building websites. The infographic doesn’t explain SEO, as that’s pretty tricky to explain and everyone has their own methods of going about it. It instead explains why it’s such an important piece of online marketing to focus on as search engines continue to be the channel of choice for those seeking goods and services online.

The infographic has a very eye catching design and a lot of great facts. I have 1 small complaint about the infographic which can easily be argued as a personal preference: the background and sticky notes have nothing to do with SEO, so why use them? I love when infographics use a lot of textures and the sticky note style to separate information, but sometimes it’s only used to separate information and has nothing to do with the basic theme of the infographic. Since the sticky notes don’t tie into the topic, I’m not sure why they were chosen for this design? In my opinion, infographics should only include the elements that are necessary, and sticky notes aren’t necessary in this. Of course, it is great to look at, so again, this is my personal preference and I doubt many people would bring the same concerns to the table.

This infographic comes to us from ZippyCart.com, which touts itself as the Internet’s leading e-commerce software review website. While this infographic doesn’t 100% have to do with e-commerce, ZippyCart does have an audience for it, as many merchants want to know how to improve their SEO to rank better in search engines. While there are many factors that go into SEO, most optimizers target Google, and to target Google is to target the idea that created the search engine: PageRank. As the infographic states:

PageRank is a 0-10 score assigned by Google that rates the popularity of an indexed web page based on the number and type of external links pointing to that page.

While that may sound complicated, this infographic does a wonderful job of simplifying the entire thing, by comparing PageRank to a high school popularity contest like running for prom king. Once you understand that this is what the infographic is about, it’s rather easy to navigate through it and learn all of the intricacies of Google’s infamous PageRank score. The infographic shows that links from certain websites mean more than others, just like votes from certain members of the student body will mean more than votes from the less popular crowd of burn outs and band nerds (I was a band nerd, so I can say that).

This infographic has gotten a great deal of love since its creation, and many out there have cut off the bottom to try and pass this off as their own creation. Because of this, I suggest that anyone thinking of creating an infographic think hard about where they place their company logo. When you place a logo where people can cut it off, it harms your chances of getting the credit you deserve for creating a killer infographic!
