Similar to last week\u2019s \u201clighter\u201d side of my blogs, this week\u2019s post is based on another request I get a lot. \u201cCan we see ALL of the infographics you use for your talks?\u201d <\/p>\n

While I do typically use 1-2 infographics per talk (pointing out pretty specific parts of the information), I do have a large number of them that I think create a strong message. To me, they are almost the ultimate in content sharing as the power of images (which is far, far greater for learning than text) is surrounded and\/or supplemented by the context that words can provide. I love infographics.<\/p>\n

So, here are some of my favorite infographics. Like last week, they can be used in various contexts and to make various points, but at the end of the day, most of these stand alone just fine. Enjoy:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A twist on the 8 kinds of stories – this infographic is based on Kurt Vonnegut\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

I have to give a quick shoutout to David McCandless. I first ran across his work more than a decade ago but wow has it impacted what I show during presentations. His entire career is based on visualizing data in clever, unique, and nicely representative ways. The following are 3 of my favorites from him:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Here is a \u201cscraping\u201d of Facebook posts to show when people break up with their significant others. I guess people will stick with you through Valentine\u2019s Day but not when it gets expensive at Christmas!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Timely (although I\u2019d love to see this updated), here is a visualization from McCandless about the coverage of world wide viruses\u2026I suspect COVID-19 would be the first non-molehill, right?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Keep in mind McCandless is not from the USA, so this is a pretty objective view of how Americans view the left and the right\u2026sigh.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Often used with the McCandless infographic above, this one showcases the polarization found in the media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
