3 Design Tips From an Infographic Pro

3 Design Tips From an Infographic Pro | Must Design | Scoop.it
We asked Randy Krum, Founder and President of InfoNewt, an infographic
design company, and editor of the Cool Infographics website, to share some
of his insights from working with and reviewing infographics.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Here are 3 great tips from an Infographic design pro:

* Be Iconic.
* Know the rules.

Come to think of it those tips apply to pretty much anything we lucky few Internet marketers do :). M

Not convinced? Let's take a look at exactly how visual contentis positively contributing to marketing strategies -- it may just give you the push you need

 

"Learn why visual content is a critical part of your content creation strategy.

 

Here are some highlights:

 

**People remember only 20% of what they read

 

**83% of learning is visual

 

Condenses and Explains Large Amounts of Information

 

**Today, there is too much information on the Internet you have about 3 seconds to catch someone’s eyes so they'll consume your information.

 

Gives Your Brand an Identity

 

**Visual content draws people in, letting viewers better understand your brand's identity

 

Drives User Engagement

 

**If you've ever read a book with a child, you probably know they find pictures more interesting than words; but are adults really that different?
