Love Info-graphics? Get some handy eye-candy!

Call me a sucker for info-graphics but there's something cool about them. Of course, I'm referring to the ones done well i.e. InfoGfx that convey all the data without sacrificing on design; ones that are aesthically and smartly presented without clipping content or scrimping message.

In a world of information overload, info-graphics achieve amazing cut-through. It's a classic union of words and design, art and copy. I'm convinced "InfoGraphy" is the next big thing - a specialised stream of the future, one where typographic design & quality content give birth to a meaningful, beautiful new entity.

tell them it's like a QR (quick response) code for the human brain.
