Fabulous list – thanks Stephen
Stephen, incredible list.
We humbly submit our site Factbrowser (www.factbrowser.com) as an addition to your Data Sources section. We’re a discovery engine for research on consumers, business, and technology.
And unlike most infographics, we always link to original sources (studies and their authors’ homepages)!
3 weeks ago I was just learning about infographics! After I found this list, I became a new “expert” on how to find, create, and better use them! Thank you 🙂
That’s what I have been looking for!
I am working as a freelance designer for 5 years and I need to expand my area of working to the field of infographics.
Thanks for making such a good sm-up!
THANK YOU! MUCH NEEDED>>>>
