This image above is an infographic about money. The title of this infographic is “Money: A chart of almost all of it, where it is, and what it can do.” This image is very dense with information. A small scale version of this infographic is seen above. The website that this was obtained from (see hyperlink below image) contains a zoom feature in order to fully view the infographic at a readable size.

This infographic is split into five different seconds: dollars, thousands, millions, billions and trillions. Within these sections, there are smaller seconds with individual infographics. Each of the large seconds is sized down and pictured on the next biggest section in order to show the magnitude of each section and how it compares to the next section. Much of the information in this infographic runs together due to the lack of whitespace. Although the sections are color coordinated, the graphics are still difficult to read.

Infographics are supposed to use images in order to present heavy information in a clear and concise way. This particular infographic does the opposite. There is a lot of information displayed on this image which makes things cluttered and hard to read and comprehend. Although money can be complicated, this infographic is complex as well.
