Quite possibly my newest obsession is infographics (information + graphics = infographic).  These clever designs are intended to present otherwise boring details and data in a visually stimulating and memorable fashion.

Check out this clever infographic by Visual.ly: Why Startups Fail

Visual.ly is the way to go.  You can bet that I will be spending the next few days creating my own infographic.  Not only are these data visualizations appealing to the eye, they are also a powerful communication tool – one I will be adding to my tool belt.  Infographics are a perfect mashup of my creative and intellectual strengths.  In about 1 minute, I created my own infographic on Visually’s website!  Worth a laugh, that’s for sure!
