Most of us have a general idea of how we learn best. Some might retain information better by listening or taking notes, while others may prefer being hands-on with the topic or looking at tables and diagrams. When it comes down to it, there’s no one size fits all.
Today, visual learners are in luck because we’re looking at a subreddit called “Infographics,” a collection of data visualizations in various forms, like bar charts and heat maps. Full of colors and creative imagery, they’re both educational and fun. Scroll down to find the best ones that might change the way you see the world.

Infographics are a creative way to display data that breaks up complex information into bite-sized pieces. For this reason, it can be a great learning tool in education.
For one, such visualization can hold a person’s attention for longer. As people are exposed to more and more information every day, it’s hard to keep them focused and prevent them from quickly moving on to the next shiny piece of statistics.
Just for us to imagine how distracting it can get, 2.5 quintillion bytes of data were created daily in 2021, according to The Next Tech. Therefore, infographics can help by taking an overwhelming amount of facts and presenting them with engaging images and colors.

Besides, most people process visual material much faster and tend to recall it better.
Neuroscientists from MIT found that the brain analyzes an image in 13 milliseconds, making these visuals a great learning aid. Our mind also tends to attach emotion to pictures, which explains why the average person remembers 65% of visual information ten days later, while they can recall only 10% of something they heard ten days ago.
Furthermore, they often prove effective in education because they use images to highlight, explain, or enhance text-based information, which also encourages data retention for many learners.

In addition, these visuals can be applied for a variety of uses. They are ideal for foregrounding important events in a historical period. They help us understand how certain occurrences interconnect and influence each other and how they have affected the world.
By using infographics, number-heavy statistics can be made more interesting, and adding diagrams and short text makes them easier to process and remember.

Teachers can also use them as assignments for homework. Giving students a long text and letting them transform it into something more appealing provides them with the opportunity to be more creative and shakes up the ordinary routine.
While doing it, they also conduct research and try different applications of information. As a result, learners demonstrate critical thinking by filtering data, identifying patterns, and presenting carefully curated projects.

Even though infographics might seem intimidating, there are plenty of tools online that can be helpful, such as Infogram, Canva, Easelly, and Edraw.
Their designers advise having an outline before starting the creative process. Try to decide which points are essential. Then, you can move on to ensuring that the readers are guided through the visuals and that the story you’re telling is coherent and has a gradual ending.

This is across all brands though and Pepsi has a ton of brands that aren't Pepsi. Not just beverages like Mtn. Dew and Gatorade, but they own DORITOS and Frito Lay. They own Rice-A-Roni and Quaker Oats. They are a massive food conglomerate.
As for the aesthetic part, a step in the right direction would be choosing the right fonts. Two are more than enough – one for the title and one for the body text. A more fun and decorative one can be used for the header, while the remaining information can be formatted with a simpler one so it’s easily readable. The typeface should also reflect the topic. Storytelling that’s more youthful and entertaining deserves a font that portrays this.

Popular Names That Died Off On The Us
I think not many European named their newborn child Adolf after the 40s...
I live in the U.S. and met a German Shepherd dog their owner named Adolf....didn't know how to feel about that.

Some of these might actually come back pretty easily. All you need is a succesful series with a popular character named Chester, or Herbert, or Claude or something and a whole bunch of babies will be named after them.
MIght not be true everywhere, but usually names die off and then come back after 3-4 generations. Noone wants to name their child the same names their own parents' generation go by. Once the name is associated mainly with one's great-grandparents its again free to use.

It says male edition in the top right corner, so there's probably a female edition somewhere.

Yep, my dad's names are Wilhelm Angela Carolus. They ran out of male family members to name him after, so he was named after an aunt whom he hated. She was a real battleaxe 🤭▪️▪️▪️I was the firstborn on both sides of the family, so I got both my grandmother's names. They abbreviated them into Marie-Ceciel. My sister had to make do with Wilhelmina.

For my BP friends, please enjoy playing with one of my favorite online pages - used to be the Baby Name Voyager, now is NameGrapher (https://namerology.com/baby-name-grapher/). You can see how a name's popularity waxed and waned since the 1800s.
Tried it for D**k, following another Panda's comment. It gave me a big, thrusting peak in the 20s and 30s with "D**k" written across it. Subtle!

It's funny how Americans realize that happening in the US, but whenever they got to name a young contemporary German charakter in a book or film, they'll happily use whatever names they remember from Nazi era films...think: Wolfgang, Rudolph, Gretel, Helga... It's like a constant starbucks cup in the picture...
Almost every single one of those names sound like they'd be friends with Barney Fife. :) In other words - an unintelligent hillbilly. I'm not saying they ARE, I'm just saying that's what they are associated with.
I actually like the name Judas, but you could never use it, even more than Adolf
None of them are particularly suitable for a baby girl, are they?
My father's name is on the list and my son's name is on the list (not the same names).
Those are also the same names that led to the demise of the Ranchero and the El Camino.
lol, i even got auto-moderated. this is what I'm saying! How does it not make the list?

The implication seems to be that the helmet was invented in 600 CE. Did the Romans and Greeks wear tam-o'-shanters into battle, then?
The same goes for colors – try to keep them visually appealing and stick with three or four that work well together. Finally, the goal with these visual aids is to portray data in a simple way, so don’t overcrowd it. Leave plenty of space between images and statistics, and use as little text as possible.

The ones I could read were really interesting! The other ones were too blurry for me to see well on the app, even after I pulled up the images to zoom in.
