The Use of Info Graphics

In order to not make the exhibition overly text heavy I could see the use of info graphics becoming increasingly important to allow visitors follow along without having to read a novel written on a wall. Museum fatigue is extremely common and to counteract this it is vitally important to keep the visitor stimulated and also moving along quickly. I've been looking at a few info graphics experts lately and feel I can take a few tips from them.

A few studios that spring to mind are:
PlusMinus
SPVZ
Lamosca
Nicholas Felton

A breakdown of genre types and their similarities could be crucial for visitors understanding what it is being displayed so the use of charts could be important. Also thematic lists could help alleviate any confusion that a patron may have.
