Indeed, white space is essential for an infographic. Infographics can help the presenter to describe his story better. However, too much text and elements can cause visual fatigue for the viewer, who will lose interest in the story. Therefore, there should be a break between the features and content.
Applying a variety of design elements can make the overall picture more vivid. Still, the simplicity of the text and features is also essential.
