Consider
using an
infographic
if you need
to…
Tie together
related data
Simplify large
amounts of
content
Tell a story that’s
best told through
data
Use
something
else if you
need to…
Use it just because
it’s shiny & new
Need to tell a linear
narrative story
Attempt to link
data that actually
isn’t connected
