The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), in Infographic Form

We're Against SOPA

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) could seriously impair your ability to promote your business or organization online. Mashable today posted a great infographic that walks us through complexity with grace - provided by Business Insurance Quotes.

I Greatly Admire This Infographic

I love this about it:

• Very complex idea, walked through a step at a time
• Suitable for printing on a plotter and making into a poster
• The organizational elements of "folders" with different slants on the issue
• The use of icons. Often these are overused, but here they are adding good value.
• The "guideline" to show the user which elements to read in which order.

I'd love to dedicate a coworking brownbag session to designing an infographic. The exercise is a good one for any team to really understand a process, service or system. Creating one together creates a deep level of shared understanding.

Do you have great examples of infographics to share?

What's your take on SOPA?

Thanks for posting this, Firecat! SOPA is an extremely clumsy instrument that we must help defeat.

Here's a whole blog on infographics. Enjoy! I'd attend an infographic coworking workshop for sure. http://www.coolinfographics.com/
