This infographic utilizes a simple color palette and clean design, offering just a couple of statistics so that the viewer can process the information quickly. The illustrations are cute and add some visual interest beyond just the circle graph. The design is not overwhelming and there are no text chunks, so it isn’t a big project for the viewer — they can gain all the information they need in about 20 seconds.

It would be interesting to see this as a series of infographics, or part of a larger graphic. In its extreme brevity, it almost seems more like a single section of an infographic than a standalone IG.

In all I’d give this infographic an A! It’s quick, concise, contains data viz and is visually engaging. It’s a little “safe” in overall design, but it avoids being boring.
