A simple Google Images search for ‘Infographics’ will prove just how many infographics are out there. I’ve written an article on the basic [types of video infographic here](/content/blog/infographic-video-ideas/index.html), but the problem with all those approaches is that they have been done before. How do we cut through the noise and come up with a really interesting, unique and engaging [infographic design](https://www.twine.net/find/infographic-designers)? The answer is to do something different, something that most people won’t have seen before. Below are a couple of cutting-edge infographic examples that take it to the next level and will hopefully give you some great [video infographic](/content/infographic/index.html) inspiration.

## Papercut flowchart

[Owen Gildersleeve](http://owengildersleeve.com/) is a London-based graphic designer and illustrator who specialises in handcrafted paper cut designs. Owen created this stylish but simple paper-cut flowchart for lactofree.co.uk, proving that if advertising is fun enough, people will engage with it.

## Live action/animation hybrid

Information Overload is a short infographic video by [Margaux Le Pierres](http://www.margauxlepierres.com/), a New York-based designer. It combines live action video footage with low-fi animation overlays and although it is well over three minutes long it manages to remain compelling enough that you stick with it to the end.

## This guy got a tattoo

Okay, so he probably didn’t really get a tattoo but the Photoshop job is so good it doesn’t matter. The overall effect is so creepy and weird that you can’t look away. It’s by Polish artist and designer [Paul Marcinkowski](http://www.paulmarcinkowski.com/). Please don’t go out and get a tattoo.

## Richard Feynman on beauty

This animated short, made by UK-based [Cub Studio](http://www.cubstudio.com/) s’ Fraser Davidson & Ben Skinner, is arguably not strictly an infographic, but has enough in common with infographics that it’s still an original take on the idea and therefore a great source of design inspiration. Most infographic videos are wordless, but this is a good example of how you can make a voiceover the star of the show.

## Original take on the pie graph

Something we’re seeing a lot in the field of infographics are reinventions of standard infographic formats. This simple but effective reimagining of the pie graph by [Gerardo Obieta](http://www.behance.net/obieta) from Minnieapolis, USA, is a great example of how to do it.

## The influence map

This infographic, created by Luke Shuman for [Good Magazine](https://www.good.is/), charts the power of celebrity activism with a funky color palette and complex yet readable design. Good has interesting articles that are often illustrated with great infographics, so it’s worth checking out their [infographic archive](https://www.good.is/infographics).
