Visual storytelling
Make the insight easy to share.
Create a clear reading path from headline to evidence to takeaway. Explore visual-story formats designed for articles, reports, and social sharing.
Build a narrative from the evidence
A useful infographic arranges a focused message, its supporting data, and the context needed to interpret it. Start with the underlying comparison and keep your wording descriptive. An explanation can be engaging without implying that a chart proves a motive, a causal mechanism, or a future outcome.
Create a consistent visual rhythm
Use spacing, type hierarchy, and a limited set of visual treatments to guide reading. A strong headline should not crowd the data. An annotation should not cover the point it explains. Bright accents and rounded panels can make a layout approachable while the plot itself remains precise, quiet, and readable.
Publish a format family
A square editorial card introduces a topic; a wide chart figure carries the data; webpage text provides the detailed explanation. Let these formats complement one another instead of cramming the whole article into a single image. Preserve a consistent subject, period, source note, and example-data status across every version.
Make the meaning available beyond the image
Use a concise image description and real supporting text. Offer a table when exact values matter. Distinguish categories with labels and patterns, not only hue. An infographic becomes more useful when readers can choose whether to scan the visual, read the explanation, or inspect the numbers directly.
Educational examples only. The samples are not live market data, company reports, personal advice, or verified investment results. Read the calculation and data notes.

Can I use the template artwork in a report?
The original ImageChart example layouts are provided for adaptation. Preserve their illustrative-data label when using the sample values, and check the rights to any data or third-party material you add.
Do I need to put the entire article inside the image?
No. Use a focused headline, one meaningful visual, and concise context. Keep detailed discussion and data in accessible webpage text or an accompanying document.
Where should I start?
Choose a template whose comparison matches your subject, read its source data, and review the infographic design guide before adapting the layout.
