This infographic was submitted to us by Gavin de Becker & Associates.

There are a lot of good claims established here for why private security firms are coming up in the world. The simple layout and clean text makes navigating the infographic pretty easy, as there’s no clutter, no large text chunks, and nothing else appearing out of place. It’s a little plain (nothing especially unique or risky was attempted) so it doesn’t really draw me in visually, but in the same respect, it’s also definitely not gaudy or overdone.

The majority of numbers are visualized, which is great to see. I love the little icons for law enforcement vs. private security, and the color choice there is effective: gray for law enforcement (meant to be de-emphasized) and blue for “the good guys” (meant to be emphasized/presented positively). Sometimes it’s the subtle details that win people over – if I were choosing between law enforcement and private security, I’d probably be looking into private security careers. I definitely need some of those sunglasses.

I was surprised to learn that personal protection accounts for about half of all private security services. Guess it’s a good time to be a bodyguard!

In all I’d give this infographic a B+. It utilizes data viz and concise text, but could use something a little flashy to make it stand out. Maybe the header/title would be the opportunity to do this.

Today’s infographic comes from BeingSelfEmployed.org and compares what it’s like to be self employed in the US vs. UK. All in all, this infographic is OK at best. It is an infographic, but relies a lot on typography to tell the story and has a really rough color pallet. There is SOME data visualization, but this is mainly a lot of images paired with large text to keep driving the same points home. Also, all infographics should be checked for grammar and spelling before publishing them to the public. For instance, the word moons is being used as a possessive noun, so why isn’t it moon‘s?? If text is going to be that big on an infographic, it should be easy to edit before pushing live.
