However, the organization and artwork are also important and should be taken seriously.<\/p>\n<p>If you have the guts, this is when you start to scratch illustrations and define how you will \u201cbeautify\u201d the infographic. The artistic style you choose, is the ultimate step in the visual presentation and heavily influences the reader\u2019s perception about your work. You should aim for beauty and simplicity at the same time.\u00a0Depending on the artwork style, you define it as more \u201crealistic\u201d or more \u201ciconographic\u201d(these are the two extremes, in terms of details).<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4688 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/01c.jpg\" alt=\"01c\" width=\"500\" height=\"277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/01c.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/01c-300x166.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We know that the regular scientist don\u2019t have illustration skills and this is a major limitation in how you tell the story. The common approach to scientific figure design is: scan your preferred book or look for figures in Google Images, then start creating from what you got.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the relative &#8220;importance&#8221; of each element you&#8217;ll organize them differently when\u00a0choosing the layout, <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/what-makes-a-good-infographic-organization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">as you already know<\/a><\/span>. What we wanna exercise now is the ability of using different artworks to represent hierarchy in your infographic. Have a look in the example:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4703 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/3-19-1024x762.jpg\" alt=\"3-19\" width=\"640\" height=\"476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/3-19-1024x762.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/3-19-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/3-19.jpg 1042w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another example. You see how the hierarchy between the elements is revealed simply by changing the artwork style. Bottom line is: you don&#8217;t need to always use the most realistic style!\u00a0Remember that: unify, simplify, beautify. That&#8217;s our moto.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4704 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/3-14-1024x712.jpg\" alt=\"3-14\" width=\"640\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/3-14-1024x712.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/3-14-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/3-14.jpg 1042w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, what we propose is the opposite: have a good story crafted and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindthegraph.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mind the Graph<\/a>\u00a0helps you find the illustrations you need and choose the appropriate artwork style.
