more and more i see "infographics" as a bit of a trend... "infographizing" information that no one cares about just for the novelty of it.

Proper information graphics will always be useful. I think magazines like Good and Wired (and the studios/freelancers they hire) are doing a great job at it these days.
Agree about the useless wank that's out there, but sometimes infographic-type illustrations can be very useful in highlighting a concept from a text that is not data visualization per se... I don't really see that as a trend, merely a graphic device that's been around for decades with still a great deal of room for innovation and originality.

Depends alot on client personality... some will think you're wasting time, others will think these ideas are briliant and this makes you look better than other designers who, just, uh, simply design things....
There's a schism here, marketing/advertising wants to persuade and sell, academic/infographics wants to explain and/or enlighten. Too many academics act as if design has nothing to do with advertising and marketing and, uh, selling things to make a living....
