There’s no denying that Kobe Bryant is a force to be reckoned with on the basketball court, and undoubtedly one of the most talented players to ever grace the NBA.

We love the “Paranormal Activity” series of films here at Infographic World. So we were super-excited when we were able to partner with Paramount Pictures, who wanted an animated recap of the film series ahead of the release of the final installment, “Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension.” Not only did we get to dive head-first into the previous movies, but we were lucky enough to see an early screening of the new movie (all thumbs up!).

Our company president, Justin Beegel, is a huge New York Mets fan, so when we heard we’d have the chance to produce some infographics for Metsblog, well, needless to say we were excited. For the first one, we took a look back at the 2015 regular season, which had a shaky start but saw the Mets bounce back to win their division and make the playoffs for the first time since 2006. What went so wrong at the start, when and how did they turn it around and how did they end the regular season?

Americans love their pets and aren’t shy about spending money on them, to the tune of more than $60 billion spent in 2011 (and that number’s only rising). With Halloween coming up, for many pet owners, this is the best time of year, as they can deck their dogs out in adorable costumes and get slashed up trying to dress up their cats. This infographic looks at how much Americans spend on their pets when it comes to dressing them up. Be sure to check out the tips for finding the best costume depending on the species and breed of your pet.

Some days you just don’t have it in you to write another article or blog post. You may feel as if you’ve exhausted every means of a topic, or you’re just burned out with content marketing. When this mood sets in, the last thing you want to do is cut back on content creation. You still have an audience to cater to, and they’re always hungry for information. Instead, recycle and reuse some of your older content. Many new visitors probably haven’t read it before, and it’s fairly easy to put a new spin on what you’ve already written. Here are a few ways to transform something old into something new.

While the 2016 presidential election is still more than a year away, Halloween is right around the corner. And even though the election may already seem like a horror story, depending on your political leanings, this non-partisan infographic takes it a step further. How would some of the most prominent candidates (and non-candidates) last in a zombie apocalypse, how would they fight off brain-eating zombies and who would survive until help arrives?

With data being generated in record-breaking amounts, businesses are looking for ways to synthesize and utilize all the information coming their way. Infographics, taking advantage of both text and visual content, can be leveraged in innovative new ways.

The recent major turmoil in Asian stock markets has caused spill-over all over the world, including in the U.S., where the Dow Jones Industrial Average has seen record changes over the past couple of months. With the U.S. economy still considered shaky by some, there is a great deal of fear over these changes. But is that fear well-founded? One way to find out is to look at historically large changes, whether good or bad, in the Dow. We looked up the 20 largest gains, losses and intraday swings and plotted them against the backdrop of historical context. What we found is that the stock market tends to bounce back after every major decline, with the bigger dips taking longer to recover from, as you might expect. Take a look at the historical picture of the roller coaster that is Wall Street.
