In the US, the average cost to raise a child ranges from a little over $12K to almost $15K each year. That’s a lot of resources for someone not quite tall enough to reach the kitchen sink. Housing accounts for about 30 percent of those costs, but unless you planned on living out in the open wild, you would incur that expense anyway.

Abortion is a major issue in the US. Where you stand on the topic could be the deciding factor in how you choose your friends, which businesses you support, and how you elect candidates to government. For decades, this controversial issue has been the focus of both politicians and activists alike.

Since as early as 1856, several states have been involved in the approval or banning of abortions for mothers in the first trimester, but it wasn’t until 1890 that the American Medical Association (AMA) got involved in the matter. This enabled women to seek legal abortions when birth would endanger their lives.

When it comes to the biggest coffee consumers here in the US, the 18 to 35 year olds have cornered the market. This is partly due to the rise of coffee shops on virtually every corner. Interestingly enough though, the overall consumption of coffee in the United States is down. Back in 1946, we drank on average 2 cups per day. Now the daily average is just under one cup, and it’s not good quality either. Americans would much rather have a convenient cup of coffee than a quality cup made from fresh whole beans.

Whiteboard animations are popular tools for marketing. Businesses that employ them attract a much larger audience than those who have not embraced any form of video marketing. People have a fondness for animations, and these productions yield a high engagement rate. Here are a few reasons why whiteboard animation videos attract so many viewers.

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. Expertly crafted visual content is easily consumed by viewers and can help increase awareness and productivity, as well as improve communication and understanding.
