Life Mapping is this week's PRO Trend, with a score of 7.9. The implications: Plotting out a topic makes it easier to digest, and nowhere has this been more true than online. Consumers love seeing their favorite social media networks and online memes dissected, so much so that infographics of everything under the sun are taking over the digital arena. Broken-down topics with graphics to make them even more comprehensible are exactly what today’s busy consumers want and need. Some examples:


iPhone User Infographics

Infographic Movie Timelines

Pop-Up Infographics

Romantic Flow Charts

Diagnostic Internet Infographics

Mom-Centric Infographics

Infographic Biographies

Egg-Stounding Infographics

Other new PRO Trends include: 1. Pop Culture Vacations, 2. Tie-Dyesigns, 3. Extravagant Cleansing, 4. Promoting Career Change, 5. Minimalist Typevertising, 6. Upcycled Print, 7. Sci-Fi Interiors, and more. If you're looking to better understand consumer trends, we now have 1,115 PRO Trends with 44,600 examples in our 2011 Trend Reports

Enjoy!
