Can this Saudi initiative become the Wikipedia of Arabic infographics?

In light of many recent attempts to enhance online Arabic content, three Saudi entrepreneurs have launched Arinfographic.net to archive all Arabic infographics in one place, offering at the same time a customized infographic design service.

The concept of the infographic is built on the idea of representing any type of data or information in the form of visual content. Why visual? Many believe that images, symbols, and drawings are the easiest and fastest ways to convey a message to readers. Infographics are often used in marketing, education, and summaries of studies and statistical findings.

Having launched the website in December 2014 during the ArabNet Riyadh event to address “a lack of understanding on the part of the Arab user of what an infographic is and how it is designed,” founder and CEO Sami Al Mutairi hopes for Arinfographic to become the Wikipedia of Arabic infographics or the Arab world’s Visual.ly, a well-known website for infographic design.
