Nowadays, people easily recognize the shape of their country, continent, or the whole world, so locating data in each zone is more powerful than creating a list of zone names with your data. Map: Locating data on a map helps create a geographical conception about the facts that are being discussed.They aim to graphically simplify complex processes. They are a type of infographic that helps a lot in understanding systems, processes, methodologies, and elements that all intervene. Another example is a diagram of an industrial process, where several elements intervene and interrelate in a single point of the diagram to execute one part of the process. For example, a family tree is a type of flowchart, since several children can emerge from one couple. Flowchart: Unlike the chronology, in this diagram there are correlations, but they are divergent that is, from one point, several can arise.For example, you could use the evolution of the number of clients over time or some data from a market study. The most basic and useful way is through the creation of numerical bars, where numerical data is compared and displayed over time. Data Visualization: Sometimes it's not easy to retain numerical data, but putting it in a visual format increases retention, since we are beings with a lot of visual retention.Comparisons can use images and texts, or be more complex, with data. We understand the magnitude of things through comparisons we make with what we already know, so comparison is a very common communicative tactic that can help by providing references of size and scale. Comparison: Comparing one element versus another is a widely used way of communicating or learning, both consciously and subconsciously.This line can represent the passage of time, with various milestones marked, or it can be more conceptual, without indicating dates, but always in chronological order (factors or events that have a linear correlation). Chronology or Timeline: Similar to the list, but with a solid line to give the viewer a visual path to follow.Lists are the simplest, but at the same time they're attractive, since they're visually appealing and easy to read. The objective is to synthesize the main ideas, concepts, or steps to follow for a specific aspect in a few points. List: It can be in vertical or horizontal order, numbered or unnumbered.These are the most common types of infographics, from the most basic to the most elaborate:
