10/16/17: Introduction to Infographics

It has become the popular trend to make an info-graphic. But, what is an info-graphic?

Also to establish authority and to share across social platforms. The best information displayed would be stats, data, images and maps.  Sometimes data in words is not easily understood, but if you have a visual picture of the data you can easily see what it means.
