I'm not a big fan of infographics because I keep thinking of Mark Twain saying, "There are three types of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics." I'm always thinking, "What are they trying to pull over on me, and how should I be arguing against it?" The infographic usually hides more than it reveals. I like data visualization when I'm doing it for myself, or when a trusted colleague is using it to share information. Certainly there is much that can be seen more readily from a graphic than a number. But infographics are propaganda. p.s.
