If you look a few previous selections on BestInfographics.co you will see we have a fondness for illustrated infographics. We like them because they stand out from today’s computer-generated fodder that fill the Internet cracks and corners. It harkens back to a day with illustrators took the time to put pencil and pen to paper and create art, not just image; information, not just data. Of course, I’m overly nostalgic but when you get to be a certain age you start looking around to appreciate the work of others and gradually start to see how much work went into creating certain objects, even infographics.

While this infographic about an average day on Facebook for the designer/artist, Bernard Barsley, may not be hand-illustrated on paper and then scanned in to a computer, it certainly has the look of such a piece of work. And in today’s new cyberworld, that may be the best we can hope for. In any case, we liked the simple idea, the simple design and the illustrative qualities found within this infographic. We appreciate it for what it is. What to see something more data-driven, click here.

I wonder how “average” this is for the typical Facebook user? Do we all have similar percentages of high school friends, people we have never actually met in person and neighbors, among other individuals. That would be an interesting, yet useless, study.

Another graphic about the Internet? Sorry, but hey, the Internets a pretty big place.
