Social media has made todays world more visual than ever.Why use infographics?Large quantities of information, no matter how relevant, interesting or even vital, are less and less consumed in their literal form.

Instead, they have been reconfigured into a visual form, the creative infographic.

It allows its creator to:Communicate a messagePresent large amounts of data in a relevant wayReveal hidden data for the viewer etc.Anca Anton, University of Bucharest, RomaniaInfo vs. graphs vs. (creative) infographicsComparison: the global wood and timber trade (export & import)InfoPeruPeru's timber sector has a particularly poor reputation for illegality, including violence, and failure to respect international conventions.[-]China, Mexico and the USA dominate the market for Peru's timber exports. The proportion exported to China increased rapidly last decade - offsetting a reduction in direct exports to the USA. It is likely that much of the timber exported from Peru to Mexico subsequently enters the USA, perhaps after processing in free trade zones "maquiladora". The mix of species in the timber exported to China differs from that exported to Mexico and the USA - China's interest tends to be in species for flooring whereas the market in Mexico and the USA tends to focus on caoba (big leaf mahoganySwietenia macrophylla) and cedro (red cedarcedrella odorata) which tend to be used in furniture. Caoba and cedro[-] are respectively listed in Appendices II and III under CITES. Peru is a range state for a number of other species which are recommended for listing under CITES.[p11et seq]During last decade, Peru failed to comply with its obligations under CITES concerning production of caoba, bringing CITES into disrepute.[NRDC] Rather than present "non-detriment findings" in support of the volumes being logged, Peru has subsequently reduced the volume which it deems sustainable. After a few years of concern about the Peruvian government's willingness to comply with converntion concerning caoba, it now appears that the CITES Secretariat is more satisfied with progress.[Item 19]Forest policy has recently changed - the scale and duration of new logging concessions is now supposed to be sufficient to ensure sustainable management of the existing forest. The aims of the logging group which is said to have acquired a large share of the total area of these new concessions would be easier to assess if the inventory of tree speciese which has presumably been prepared in order to enable the group decide whether and how much to bid for those concessions were available to the public. Given that that group is a leading supplier of caoba to the USA,[-][-] one might expect the concessions to be rich in this species and that the group wishes to ensure long term access to legal supplies of caoba thereby reducing the risk of its exports to the USA being in breach of the Lacey Act (which,inter alia, makes it a criminal offence to import illegal timber into the USA). Unfortunately, lack of transparency concerning aspects of the concession allocation process will not greatly reduce perceptions that timber from these concessions is much less likely to warrant being descibed as Illegal Timber than timber from elsewhere in Peru.[-] Further, the Lacey Act seems to be failing to prevent illegal timber from Peru entering the USA - including that which has CITES permits.[-]In effect, all the timber which is declared in Peru as exports of mouldings (i.e. those listed under code 4409 in the United Nations Harmonised System for the classification of commodities) destined for China is declared in China as sawn wood (i.e. under HS code 4407). If the reason for this difference in classification minimises the amount payable as export taxes in Peru[4409291* & 4409292*] and/or import taxes in China[44092910 & 44092920] then this would imply systematic fraud. Given that similar discrepancies are manifest in statistics of other countries' exports to China, the reason might merely be classification - China not recognising the extent to which the sawn wood is processed as sufficient to warrant being described as mouldings. However, the classifications used by both Peru and China should - under UN / World Customs Organisation rules - be the same (for codes of up to four HS digits). It is unlikely that the difference is attributable to efforts to bypass CITES - which requires export and import permits for countries which tradeSwietenia macrophylaandCedrela odoratain the form of sawn wood (HS code 4407) but not mouldings (HS code 4409) - as reflected in the CITEStrade databaseand other market information, those species seem to account for very little if any of the timber which is traded from Peru to China.It is also unclear why the total quantity of sawn wood and mouldings which Peru declares as exports to China tends to be roughly twice as great as that which China declares as imports from Peru. It is unlikely that much of the discrepancy is attributable to the substantial quantities of timber which are said to be smuggled from Brazil into Peru.http://www.globaltimber.org.uk/peru.htm Anca Anton, University of Bucharest, RomaniaGraphs (charts & tables)

Export lower bubblesImport upper bubbles Sooo ... What are creative infographics?** Hint: the following is a pseudo-rhetorical question ... Yes, you have to answer it DefinitionCreative infographics are an almost artistic approach to data and information, perfectly sinchronized with the consumption rhythm and patterns of an online, visual social universe.= fun statisticsAnca Anton, University of Bucharest, RomaniaTypes of creative infographicsResearch results (statistical infographic)The ones we see most oftenThey show the results of a study or a survey

Did you know(informational infographic)Interesting facts, not necesarily all the results of a study

Compare & Contrast(informational infographic)It shows how something has grown or changed, accomplishements, results.It can compare: products, ideas, philosophies, programs etc.

How to (process infographic)It takes you through a process step-by-step.

Demographics(informational/comparative inf-grph.)traditionally used when doing market research for a business or campaign and can be very useful information in general.

Advocacy(public engagement infographic)This includes outlining an issue or problem and then inviting people to help fix it (with a call to action) designed to educate and cause change.

Some people, especially women tend to hesitate when it comes to salary negotiation. If they have to ask for a raise, employees are not sure how much to ask for or the appropriate figure to quote.
