Choose a suitable topic

The first step to a good infograhic is an appropiriate topic. Infographics are suitable for presenting complex information as an understandable and clear story. do you mainly want to show data? Then a fact sheet might be a better solution

Keep it simple

First, consider the purpose of your infographic. What is the key message and what do you want to achieve? Then choose the most important information you want to display and focus only on that. Too much information can make your infographic unattractive or unclear.

Write a story

Don't just show facts, figures and data, but tell a story. You can do this using a metaphor or theme, but make sure you don't forget the key message. Bring structure to your story using a three-part story structure (beginning, middle, end).

Choose a strong title

The headline of the infographic is the first thing most readers see. In Addition to being descriptive, the headline should grab the readers' attention and make them want to see the rest of the image.

Make it visual

Try to visualize information as much as possible. Your previously chosen theme or metaphor comes in handy. Most infographis also contain text, but that text should be kept short and to the point. Use it to support the visualizations you use.

Do it yourself...
