There can be 3 types of infographics:
An infographic can:
Infographics usually add their sources of information by listing the URLs.
You will need to submit a separate full bibliography to your teacher using MyBib.
Shorten the texts into words or brief and easy-to-understand phrases.
The colours used in your works should be harmonic to catch the viewers’ eyes.
Trying to show too many details in your infographics just make people get bored and tired of reading them.
Create a visual pathway to lead the reader to your call to action. Repeatedly emphasize the topic of your infographic.
Select high quality images and a suitable layout.
All the images or colours or any effects applied to your infographics must be in harmony and fit well with the information that you are trying to convey through your infographic.
Create subtle direction with arrowed shapes. Create subtle pleasing contrast with white text against a dark, but not black, background.
Display your information in unique shapes that represent your topic.
Remember not to crowd your infographic and leave plenty of white space.
Positive and negative space compete for attention.
Using a template from Canva will already be harmonious in design.
