When I write anything – be it a poem, blog post, or research paper – I am writing a story. I am sharing information in my own way. I am sharing it in order to persuade or to educate. I am sharing it based on my perspective. Thus, I highlight some details and neglect others. I’m not lying; I’m merely choosing the elements that are essential to my story.

Tell Your Audience a Story
People like infographics for a reason. Infographics are fun. They share data without overloading a person (erroneous and misleading though they may be at times). Images and words converge in them, often resulting in a delightful sense of play. Infographics sometimes display humor. They even, at times, tell some sort of story. They aren’t the same-old, same-old bar graphs and pie charts.
