A great recursive infographic on infographics comes from David McCandless of Information is Beautiful.
To me, these seem like the key components of a good infographic / data visualisation / piece of information design.
- Information needs to be interesting (meaningful & relevant) and have integrity (accuracy, consistency).
- Design needs to have form (beauty & structure) and function (it has to work and be easy to use).
You may disagree. I welcome your input. I may not have got it right.
