Over the past six months I’ve seen the word infographics coming up a lot in blog posts, articles and so on.

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, so here is an unsophisticated infographic of how to generate great ideas, which is a combination of the steps from Graham Wallas and James Webb Young models. It’s a topic we have covered a few times so it should be familiar if you have been reading this blog for a while.

Today there are several tools available to make sophisticated looking infographics.
Today people are creating an infographic of their resume using tools such as Visualize.me. What are some ways you can use infographics in your work to make complex ideas simpler to digest? How can you use this information? What do you have to add to the conversation? Let's keep the conversation flowing, please let me know your thoughts in the comments section below.
