Thinking Infographically

We are moving deeper into an era in journalism that will demand, what Francesco Franchi, the art director of Intelligence In Lifestyle (a style supplemnt of one of Italy's top financial dailies, Il Sole) calls "infographic thinking," which will require the ability to weave narratives into intelligent visuals.

Well-made infographics, are no doubt, pretty, but they go beyond prettiness, he says. They are informative and encourage a different sort of reading experience, which encourages critical thinking.

A dazzling infographic from the magazine.
