Today I have a worrying infographic from the skin care website called Beauty Flash all about skin cancer in the United Kingdom.
There are two main types of skin cancer called melanoma and non-melanoma and they are both major health concerns with non-melanoma being the most common type. Since the 1970s the number of people being diagnosed with melanoma in the UK has increased every year and now approximately 1 in 50 people are affected.
Older people are more likely are far more likely to get Melanoma than younger people - the older you get the more chance there is of you getting the disease. Both men and women can be affected but they tend to get it in different parts of the body, men most commonly get it on the trunk or torso whereas women most often get it on their legs.
This well designed infographic provides lots of information about skin cancer including the number of Malignant Melanoma incidents for each year, the number of Melanoma incidents in the various age brackets, the distribution of cases for men and women, survival rates and some advice about checking for skin cancer.

When verifying an ID, confirmation of authenticity often needs to be done quickly, which makes careful scrutiny of the driver’s license or ID card important. Every day retail clerks, bank tellers, police officers, HR managers, and other professionals have to authenticate an identifying document using the naked eye alone.
Over the last decade, U.S. states and Canadian provinces have made significant security upgrades to their drivers’ licenses and identification cards. While some of these features are only visible with special equipment (UV light source, magnification) other security features can be detected by the naked eye, by touch, or by simply tilting a card or holding it up to a light source. The infographic shows some of these easily verifiable features of drivers’ licenses and identification cards.
There is no universal standard for what security features are used on IDs and where they are located on the ID. The ID Checking Guide, U.S. & Canada Edition and the U.S. Identification Manual cover each IDs relevant security features (the Manual offers greater detail). The security features shown in the Infographic, plus an additional 10 security features visible only with special equipment, are included with additional text detail, in the “Security Features” section of the U.S. Identification Manual.

In March 2014 I presented at SMX Sydney on the topic of a Practical Content Marketing Framework.
I created this infographic to explain in simple terms the core concepts of the Content Marketing Framework.
The reason I created the framework was to help me and others understand how all of these various activities that people call “Content Marketing” come together to help a business achieve it’s ultimate business goals.
Also I couldn’t stand seeing generic blog posts being pitched as a link building strategy and now I can point at this infographic and say “See, content needs to do this to add value”

I’ve got to give a big shout out to some great minds, without whom, pieces of this puzzle would not have come together for me.
