Latest design trends are focused on the pictures, especially deep field and blurry images.

But we used simple solution to achieve similar effect. Selfie infographic background is made of most popular selfie pictures. We applied blur effect on all of these images and result was quite close to what’s trending right now. There are not many infographics around , using this type of background effects, but in the near future we will see more and more “deep field background” infographics.
