A VERY CLEAR STATEMENT CAN BE MADE IN A LIMITED SPACE.

I’ve often been given a lot of room for my infographics, and I admit it, I have not always used that luxurious amount of space wisely. So let’s give a hand to the hard-working small graphic that makes a simple point, and makes it clearly. It is the polar opposite of the mega-graphic, but is just as important. Here are two excellent examples.
