Stats and Icons This infographic uses simple graphics to enhance data, and contains a consistent color scheme with easy to read sections. | Lists and Pictographs This infographic has distinct sections with "lists" of data, illustrated and captioned, and uses a pictograph to compare litter size. Controlled color scheme keeps it cohesive. | Icons and Data Blurbs This infographic uses simple silhouette icons of various animals, comparative bar graphs, brief text boxes, and maintains a dichromatic color scheme (shades of blue and grey only). |

"Information Prison" This first example shows a heavy image, with thick lines and little distinction between elements within each drawing. The glow lines around the signal lamps can be confusing, suggesting movement or vibration. The viewer is unsure where to focus, and the graphic loses its impact. | Revision This revised version is much more easily read. The boundary lines fade into background, as do the body silhouettes. Emphasis is now given to the lamp positions, shown in color, and the arrows indicating movement are in a contrasting color. The viewer is drawn to the lamps and their movement, which is the focus of this graphic. |

Data SetThis is a set of data calculating the relationship between a baseball team's on-base-percentage (OBP) and the total number of runs they score over a full season.
| IllustrationThis image illustrates the data set given, showing that a 1% increase in OBP yields 38 more runs in the season.
| InfographicThis image shows a relationship between the increase in a team's OBP and their total runs earned in a season. It shows that a small increase in OBP, 1%, can yield a return of a 5.8% increase in scores earned.
