Digital Photography 101

The Digital Photography 101 infographic from The Backdrop Store is a great primer for newcomers to the basics of photography.

This is a great use of an infographic as a high level summary that invites people to your website and to their much more detailed Digital Photography 101: The Definitive Guide for 2018

I usually advise against full color photos in infographics because they are visually noisy, and multiple photographs add multiple color palettes to one infographic design. However, in this case the topic is specifically about photography, so the use of photos is very relevant and appropriate. Notice the simple color scheme of the rest of the infographic so the photos can stand out and don't compete against the basic design.

I love seeing all of this survey research data shown in a visual, infographic form.  It’s so much more engaging and easier for the audience to understand.

When visualizing data with grids of icons, rows with 10 icons across are the easiest for your readers to understand.  This design includes some odd row quantities like 12, 13 and 20 icons across, which are not intuitive to the audience.  Our number system is Base-10, and icons shown in groups of 10 are the easiest to comprehend.
