Great video thanks your one of my reference in my report now I'm sure its the case with many others really helpful. I wanted to ask can a infographic fall under two categories say informational and statistical?

[@srgmag1971]

I believe it is possible for an infographic to fall into more than one type. It all depends on the content and how you'll create an organized presentation of both aspects of the data.

Can you make an infographics about the holy scriptures that showing an evidence for its existence about these present times.

[@tdosedla]

What type of infographics would you recommend to visualize Ancestor tree in interesting way? Thinking about it contains different types of data like - statistics data (gender, birth death, age), profiles, photos, map (location data), hierarchy, timelines, lists, events, and much more.. btw. I take avocado

[@venngagevids]

Hey Tomas! You could use a flow chart or a timeline infographic if you wanted to visualize the timeline of your ancestors. But I think what you're looking for is more of a hybrid! Maybe a layout like this would work best for you: venngage.com/templates/infographics/state-race-population-infographic-a508eca3-9291-4899-bc64-b44674489e76 You could give each ancestor a section with a photo, some data, and a small map Good luck with your project, it sounds really interesting!

[@LBCLARA2008]

[@ketankauntia1976]

I see such an awsome informative video... Dont you want to get your videoes to get the maxium outreach and get a ton more of subs? I can help you on that with just a piece of advice.. take if you want..(i leave it up to you.) Everything is awsome just you need to pull out some questions before the plain speech you say... You can make it more engagging by adding some interesting question on what are your readers actually gona search whenever they are going to see your videoes.. Also sometimes do stress upon some words and speak out aloud... U ll catch upon your viewers definetly... U may see some videoes of neil patel.. and try to figure out how he speaks..

[@ketankauntia1976]

Btw awsome video

[@jakesullivan2687]

this list is very cool and good very nice infomashon
