Hello. Perhaps not a very standard question for this forum. I am currently working on creating a blog on the site and in order to make it more interactive, I plan to add a little infographic. Please see my last work. Should I continue in this direction? I would be grateful for the answer.
Link for the infographic : https://rocketpayz.com/articles/how-does-gambling-affect-us/
I also added it to attachment.
P.S. I apologize in advance for the subject of the site.
BR

The honest answer is that I gave up looking at it. To my eyes at least, it shouts too much at you at once. Not enough contrast in the colours and too overwhelming tightness on the information. I would recommend rethinking the typography and colour too increase legibility and spread things out a bit more to make it easier to glance at.

In addition to the comments in post #2, I'd also get a little more consistent with the style of the graphic content. There's multiple "people" styles, a photorealistic element, 2-color icons, multi-color icons. An infographic needs a good singular design language (color, type, iconography, layout, structure, etc..,) so that the information / data takes front seat. This is a touch, what I'd call "noisy".

Thank you very much for your honest answers. The side view is very important for me. I will work on styles and colors, as well as on the quality and quantity of information.
Regards.
