Over the last few months we have received a huge amount of questions as to what makes a great infographic and how you can stand out from the crowd. We did some research and found a great article by Eloqua that collected some expert opinions on the topic that we just loved, we also sprinkled in advice we found elsewhere that should serve you well.

Infographics support focused data with good design to tell a shareable story in a clear and concise manner - Three rules to great infographics: 1. compelling data, 2. rich graphics, 3. viral title. via @funnelholic
1. Focused data:

Use relevant data

Use reputable sources

Fact-check - if the data you're working with is untrustworthy, than your infographic will be too," - Tiffany Farrant-Gonzalez

Only use data relevant to your infographic's message - A great infographic allows the viewer to grasp the implications of big data. via @Stevology

Credit your sources

2. Clear design: (Great infographics) in one word: clarity. via @AdamSinger 3. Shareable story:

Limit your colour palette

Use simple graphics that that tie to your data

Use data visualizations that most clearly illustrates the data (only 53% of infographics use data visualizations) (x)

Convey the message at a glance - take a lot of data, or a number of concepts, and boil it down to one image." via @mvolpe

Establish a connection between sections (good infographics utilize the hierarchy of information)

Make sure the graphics and numbers match

Limit width to 735 pixels (it's the standard)

Anything over 5000 pixels tall will lose attention - "Too many infographics now are too darned big." via @TDefren

Further Reading:

Answer an interesting question to grab audiences - A good infographic starts with a good 'why' question. via @ConversationAge

Use rational data to elicit an emotional response (infographics attract almost 450% more "actions" than typical posts) (x)

Graphics should tell the story - A great infographic tells a meaningful story in an instant. via @Jowyang

Use as little text (as possible) in a clear font - If your infographic is supplemented with 1,000 words, you've missed the mark. via @mikemacfarlane

Make the file as small as possible (compressed .jpeg) without sacrificing fidelity
