"a good infographic is worth a thousand words"

5. Information converted to a Infographic
But the history of Infographics predates the web by, oh, about 32,000 years. Cave paintings from 30,000 BC are the first infographics, depicting animals and other resources in the surrounding area. As visual representations of data, they’re definitely Infographics.
The same can be said for Egyptian hieroglyphics. Around 3000 BC, ancient Egyptians used these Infographics to tell stories of life, work and religion. It is here where Emo was born in our movie.
1786 first graphical stats were shown:
Line graph, bar chart, pie chart and circle graph
In 1857, English nurse Florence Nightingale used information graphics — primarily the coxcomb chart, a combination of stacked bar and pie charts — to change history and persuade Queen Victoria to improve conditions in military hospitals
Otto Neurath in 1925 showed the first Infographics as we know them today this is 92 years ago.
Moving on to 1975, we come to the father of data visualization, Edward Tufte. Tufte developed a seminar on statistical graphics with John Tukey, a pioneer in the field of information design. Tufte later self-published Visual Display in 1982, establishing himself as an Infographics expert.
Infographics date back 35 years and we all know it maybe for the past 5 years actually.

6. The rise of the Infographic
Leonardo da Vinci blended written instruction with illustrations to create a comprehensive guide on human anatomy
30,000 BC
During the Late Stone Age, Ancestors painted animal portraits on cave walls in south of France
Medieval French philosopher Nicole d’Orseme created one of the first graphics in order to explain how to measure a moving object
3,000 BC
Egyptian hieroglyphics
(use of graphic symbols and icons)
Scottish engineer William Playfair was the first to explain numeric data through the use of linear graphs, pie charts and bar graphs (data visualisation)
Years BC
1350
1510
1786
Mainstream news publications began using infographics to simplify information and thus made using infographics popular to the public
Chales Joseph Minard, a civil engineer from France combined maps with flow charts in order to explain geographical statistics.
The modern era ushered in Isotype, a visual communication model developed by Otto Neurath to teach ideas and concepts through the use of icons and pictures
1857
English nurse, Florence Nightingale combined stacked bar / pie charts to illustrate monthly number of casualties and causes of death during the Crimean War

8. Why use Infographics / images in proposals / presentations

9. of the brain is dedicated to visual functions
Why use Infographics?
50%
65%
of the population is visual learners
of the brain is dedicated to visual functions

10. Why use Infographics? one has only 8 seconds to engage an audience
Our brain processes visuals 60,000 x faster than text
The average US citizen receives 2500 messages per day. People have only a six minute attention span where only 2/10 people will remember a portion of what you say in your presentation
people will forget what you said and what you did but they will not forget how you made them feel

11. Why use images? the human being is a visual being
The retina of the eye contains 150 million rod and cone cells. The nerve cells from the eye processes 30% of the brain’s cortex, where neurons devoted to touch only process 8% and hearing only 3%.
