Last week, we had a roundup of some very creative infographics. Today’s post is a follow-up on even more inspiring and informative infographics that will leave us giving some things a second thought. Infographics are a great source to look up; the visual representations of a particular topic helps us find the information needed at a quicker pace.
The best examples of infographics are maps which clearly illustrate the topic in a very clear and succinct manner — and stand out from the rest. Here is a collection of some great examples of infographical maps for your inspiration and perhaps future art projects. Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing.
It could be great if author linked to source instead of direct image (13 are directly linked to image).

Does anybody else feel like these things are starting to get a little bit played out? I mean, they look phenomenal, but 90% of the time they’re shoddy attempts to get backlinks. What’s up with that?
