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.

The date format is worse in Canada because it is supposed to be day/month/year but because of how much we trade with the US, you'll see a combination of the 2 formats being used. So fun trying to guess the date for the 1st-12th of the month
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.

Dragonflies eat upwards of 100 mosquitoes per day, so they're cool by me. We always had them at our koi ponds that I built with my dad, in our backyard. They are so beautiful and fun to watch, too. AKA, Devil's Darning Needles.
We have a koi pond too, and loads of dragonflies every summer. I rarely, if ever, get mosquito bites.

Cats kill birds like mass murderers. Keep your cats in doors and don't feed feral cats, try to send them to a rescue center.
If your area has feral cats, look at a catch, neuter, vaccinate and release scheme. Removing the cats from the area has no effect on the overall population as more will move in from elsewhere.

They are the CUTEST little wildcats. Look them up. Like perpetual kittens!

I notice the lack of one particular predator: the lesser-brained two-footed human
I am curious as to where humans lie on this list. Fishermen also count, if they catch from the shore.
It's always said that humans are the most dangerous predators, but I don't think their average success rate in hunting is even near that of the dragonfly. Or is it?
The dragonfly row has two pictures on it for a reason, and I have to wonder which stage eats more. A dragonfly nymph lives entirely underwater for 4 to 5 years before metamorphosis. The nymphs are notoriously voracious and mostly eat mosquito larvae. Some day I want to raise a nymph to adulthood, but it requires maintaining a daphnia culture every day for up to 5 years, so... maybe a good empty nester hobby.
I get that Falcons probably kill a lot of land animals, but dragonflies? How many land animals are dragonflies killing? Seems weird that 2 air animals are even included.
From Wikipedia for anyone interested in what it is for humans: Hunting success in humans differ in methods used, selected prey, the performance of the hunter, weather conditions, etc. A study showed that hunters who used dogs had a hunting success of 60%, while those who employed persistent hunting had a hunting success of 37–100% over 15 attempted hunts. Hunters who hunted with bows and arrows had a hunting success of only 5%, whereas others who hunted with springhare probe had a hunting success of 14% and yet others who used clubs and spears had a success rate of 45%. The study was based on the hunting methods of the bushmen in southern Africa
Why aren't humans on the list? I would think we had a high kill percentage.
How are we not on the list-Ohhhh, it's probably because we don't do it with our bare hands....

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.

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.
