Infographic Submissions
What is Infographic Submission?
The human brain has evolved to becoming extremely visual in nature. The twin culprits of abysmally short attention spans and the widespread availability of information have perhaps worsened the ability of the human mind to juggle with large doses of the written word.

This would also explain why all of Gen Y is obsessed infographics which was earlier seen as a fad but is increasingly gaining a foothold in the way information is consumed. It also allows businesses to convey their messages without their consumer staring vacantly at the computer screen; their attention having dwindled to that of polite interest as you drone on about the value you bring to the table. Frankly, you’re just one sentence away from having your page closed and your consumer lost to greener pastures. Infographics are here to change that.
