Tools to Create Your Own Infographics

Over the past few centuries, data visualization has evolved so much that we use it every day in all areas of our lives. Many believe that infographic is an effective tool of storytelling, as well as analytics, and that it is able to overcome most of the language and educational barriers. Understanding the mechanisms of human perception will help you to understand how abstract forms and colors used in data visualization can transmit information more efficient than long paragraphs of text.

"Pictorial maps are a category of maps that are also loosely called illustrated maps, panoramic maps, perspective maps, bird’s-eye view maps and Geopictorial maps amongst others. In contrast to the regular road map, Atlas or topographic cartography, pictorial maps depict a given territory with a more artistic rather than technical style. The cartography can be a sophisticated 3-D perspective landscape or a simple map graphic enlivened with illustrations of buildings, people and animals. They can feature all sorts of varied topics like historical events, legendary figures or local agricultural products and cover anything from an entire continent to a college campus. ...
Pictorial maps usually show an area as if viewed from above at an oblique angle. They are not generally drawn to scale in order to show street patterns, individual buildings, and major landscape features in perspective. While regular maps focus on the accurate rendition of distances, pictorial maps enhance landmarks and often incorporate a complex interplay of different scales into one image in order to give the viewer a more familiar sense of recognition."
