This infographic comes from Simply Business.

I really like the theme of this IG. It’s a very simple design, even though there is so much information being displayed. It really serves as a great snapshot way to get an idea of the breakdown of private employment in the United Kingdom, and the way the colors are balanced with an unobtrusive background is visually appealing. I’ll give it a B- for the following reasons:

I understand the temptation to leave the IG completely simple, with just three nice sections of data viz, but I skim right over the written facts in favor of the graphs. Some of these stats could be easily visualized in smaller graphs, so that the simplicity of the infographic isn’t compromised but the text is minimalized.

The dimensions on this are also not ideal. At 1400 pixels across, it’s wider than it is long, and that means viewers can’t see the whole horizontal span of the IG at full size. Infographics are best kept to widths of 1000 pixels maximum; then they can be as long as they want, as vertical scrolling is much more user friendly.

Fixing these minor issues can make this a pretty great infographic.

This is a great infographic that goes into quite a lot of detail about the conditions of our economic crisis. We can’t critique the infographic because it’s one that we designed, so let us know your thoughts.

This infographic, brought to us by GoBankingRates.com, shows just how expensive it could be to use credit cards to buy things. There has been quite a lot of press about the credit card industry over the last few years, as predatory lending and high interest rates have dwindled our economy. Now that the economy is starting to improve, more and more people are jumping back into old habits. This infographic shows just how much those habits can cost, by explaining interest and how often the little things we buy can add up to thousands of dollars each year in hidden fees.

All in all, this is a top notch infographic. It is concise and easy to understand, well designed, and created to be shared. It is only 400px wide, which means that it can live on almost any blog without any tweaking. It isn’t too long, but the design is so well done that a great deal of information can fit on the graphic. For anyone looking for an example of a good infographic to learn from, this is a great place to start.
