It is natural for people to be attracted to aesthetically pleasing images and visuals. In fact, according to Salesforce, 90% of information transmitted to the brain is visual.
Taking this into account, people would rather process information and data visually through imagery and video. This is why there is a magic to the art of infographics. Infographics tell a story and allow a great visual to be created. This explains why people are increasingly creating infographic resumes to showcase their skills and talent.
