Infographics, short for information graphics, are basically visual representations of complex data. Consider infographics the pie chart and bar graph remixed and upgraded. They are visually appealing and explain a lot of information in bite-sized chunks. Use them anywhere and everywhere.

Fast Company is a master with infographics, and they even have an “Infographic of the Day” providing various stats and their impact like So What If You Don’t Sleep Enough, Diabetes is Spreading Like A Virus, and The Cost of Getting Sick.

Cool Infographics also has, well, just that – an eclectic blend of infographics from various contributors. They have plenty of health infographics explaining everything from Visualizing the Aging Process to Designing Infographic Health Reports. And if Florence Nightingale wasn’t already cool enough, check out the infographic on causes of mortality she created in 1858. Didn’t know she pioneered the visual presentation of data, huh?

If I was the perfect mix of nerd and creative, I would have whipped up an infographic explaining infographics. Oh, wait. Someone has already done that.
