Contributors Aoni Wang and Giorgia Gandolfini recently attended Idealware’s webinar, Infographics for Outreach, Advocacy, and Marketing: From Data to Design . This talk delved deeply into strategies for successful design of infographics.

Per Idealware, an infographic is an image that presents data, transferring numbers into a comprehensive visual narrative.  Infographics have become very popular among organizations, as they are generally easier to understand and more effective at communicating data to the population at-large than traditional spreadsheets and reports. Infographics attract attention and provide new ways for visitors to engage with data.
