In my previous post I shared some advice from Randy Krum, author of Cool Infographics, about creating infographics. In his book Randy devotes a chapter to design tools. Many of the tools used by professional designers cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. But you don't have to spend anything if you want your students to try their hands at creating a data visualization in the form of an infographic. Here are five free tools that your students can use to create infographics...

Below is a screen grab of a masterful interactive data visualization. This narrative-driven piece byPitch Interactive manages the extra-tricky task of balancing heavy subject matter with a clear story and compelling visuals. It's a glimpse into the future of data-driven storytelling. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the piece is that it wasn't commissioned by a media organization. It was built by Pitch as a way to explore and understand this complex topic. Bravo.
The full data visualization is here — it's worth watching, and scrolling over for a more in-depth view.

Very rarely do I come across a great piece of data visualisation that I feel will really add value to the insight communication process, but this is a great example of combining technology, data insights and storytelling. Others should watch and learn.

Recently we came across this great infographic by AXZM detailing the five elements of inbound marketing for your business. While they seemed to have channeled Captain Planet to design and categorize this infographic; using Earth, Fire, Air, Water, and the fifth element “Aether” that binds all other forces together.
It’s a great guide for a marketer or business owner just starting out in marketing. Each element is tied to an inbound marketing tactic and is partnered with a brief description of the benefit of each tactic, popular platforms, tools used and/ or best practices to implement. What is Inbound Marketing? Inbound marketing is a relatively new marketing concept where marketers aim at getting discovered by potential customers who are actively looking for your product or solution. This idea of “being where your customers are looking” contrasts the traditional way of marketing through television commercials, cold calling, direct mail, trade shows, etc....

In honor of Pi Day (3/14) we took a dive into our library to suss out some Pie Knowledge, and ended up with the above appetizing infographic revealing the flavor breakdown of the 85,748 “pie” search results from our library. Yes, we know that “Pi” equals 3.14159… and not “Pie,” but we couldn’t resist the delicious comparison. Any way you slice it, this is some tasty data, and our mouths water for data here at Shutterstock.

The numbers don't lie.- A brand's best story is framed online with photos or video. On Facebook, videos are shared 12x more than links and text combined. Photos are liked 2x more than text updates. 42% of Tumblr posts are photos. Over 700 YouTube videos are shared on Twitter every minute.

The numbers are convincing. Visuals tell the story... every time.

If there is one thing I’ve noticed in social media marketing, it’s that virtually every brand, company, or organization on social is worried to death about being “engaging” (or the lack thereof). There are two issues here preventing ‘real engagement’: first, ‘engagement’ is rarely defined, and two, ‘engagement’ is a two-way street – not the one-way information stream many brands practice on social media. How did 2012 look in terms of being “socially devoted” then?
SocialBakers, the social media marketing measurement company based in Europe, has released their Socially Devoted Report for the 4th Quarter of 2012, giving a peek at changes on how brands and companies practice ‘social devotion’ (if such a word could be used)....
