Evening Etiquette: A Gentleman's Guide

The Caffeine Poster infographicGentleman is not just a title, it is a way of life. The Evening Etiquette: A Gentleman's Guide infographic created by Boisdale explains the finer points to being a Gentleman. The infographic shares tips on how to look the part, what to wear, and dinner advice.  A great follow-up to the last post about matching ties. Being a gentleman is more than opening the door for the ladies. For men to truly live up to this title, they must look and act the part in all areas of life -  from grooming, style and culture to knowledge of food and booze and the proper treatment of women.  Making these gestures a natural part of one's behaviour is how a true gent stands out from the boys. In order http://attorneyinfographics.com/ to help lads mature into men of virtue, Boisdale has created an evening etiquette guide. From knowing one's tweed and collars to the proper table setting and whiskey protocol, this infographic will turn those willing into a man ladies want and other men aspire to be. Another great visual explanation, that shows the reader the information with illustrations and images instead of spelling out the information with too much text.

Consumer Attitudes To Sms Marketing And Texts Alerts

The Consumer Attitudes to SMS Marketing and Texts Alerts infographic is the results of a survey done by Text Marketer . The survey was conducted to find out the consumers' view on receiving text alerts from companies.  The infographic is based on an exclusive survey of over 1,350 consumers in to their attitudes to SMS marketing.  The results highlight that 84% of customers want to receive appointment reminders, 61% want order confirmations and 89% would like delivery notifications via text; showing there are a lot of ways to market through this channel that customers love.  48% of consumers are also likely to respond to a text from a company they have previously purchased from. Consumers love special offers by text and like to be able to ask questions to companies via text messages. Since the http://attorneyattorney infographics.com/ data is from their own survey research, there are no additional data sources cited.  The purpose of the first section is to establish the credibility of the data, but the total number of respondents alone isn't enough.  Surveys like this target specific consumers, and use screener questions to target a specific portion of the population.  What type of consumers were surveyed for this report? The visualizations of the data are clear, and the iPhone illustrations for the results of each question break apart the data nicely.  It's a little hard for readers to understand that the lineup of iPhones is meant to add up to the total of 100% of respondents for each question. The footer should include a copyright notice, and the URL back to the original infographic landing page so readers can find the full-size version if a link is not available.  A link to the source data would increase the credibility of the data too.  Instead, the landing page has a link to the home page of Text Marketer as the data source link, which means public access to the numeric data is not available.

Visualizing The Microsoft-nokia Deal

Good data visualization uses visuals to put data into context for the readers, making the information easier to understand.  This simple infographic takes a couple charts previously published by Nielsen , and uses them to provide context to the news story of Microsoft acquiring Nokia's handset devices unit for $7.2 Billion . Combining data visualization with text and images should make the information easier and faster to understand, and this design does a great job. Designer unknown.  Thanks to Mike Elgan for posting on Google+ and Luke Millar ( @ltm http://attorneyattorney infographics.com/ ) for posting on Twitter.

The Guide To Star Trek Uniforms

The Gude to Star Trek Uniforms infographic from Costume Supercenter . Make sure you know what uniform your wearing! When the original Star Trek television series started, male and female officers wore similar outfits. The male Star Trek uniforms consisted of black pants, black go to website boots and a velour shirt with the symbol on the left side. Females wore the same type of shirt, with black boots and tights, and a black skirt, although in some cases they wore black pants. The color of shirt worn identified the branch the crew member belonged to. Those in green shirts worked for command personnel, while beige stood for operations, and blue was for medical personnel only. The velour shirts were changed to nylon shirts starting in the third season. You can find many of the Star Trek Costumes here. Don't be the red-shirted ensign! The footer of the design should include the copyright information and the URL to the original infographic landing page so readers can see the full-size infographic.  The Costume Supercenter logo should also be somewhere on the design to connect the infographic to the publishing company.

Where Does The Money Go?

Where Does the Money Go?  from LifeHacker breaks down the average spending habits of U.S. consumers. The graphic above breaks down how the average US household spends their paycheck, according to the US Department of Labor. As you can see, housing, transportation, and food are the biggest costs. Because they take so much out of our http://attorneyinfographics.com/ paychecks, it makes sense to concentrate on reducing spending in these areas. Designed as a infographic piece of a larger article, the design does a good job of focusing on one data visualization.  It also has minimal text because the additional details are all included in the text of the article. Because the graphic can be shared separately from the article, the infographic should include a mention of the article, LifeHacker's logo, and the URL back to the original.
