Thing 8 - Infographics

I enjoyed this task of putting together an infographic. I had seen them before and think they are a useful way of getting a message across in a was that is visually appealing. I often wondered how they were done and wondered if you needed to be a graphic designer.

I used the tool Canva, a free graphic design tool, which says it makes design simple for everyone and indeed it does. It provides a range of templates to choose from. I had previously used Canva to update my CV so I had prior knowledge of the software. I hadn't realised it also included the option to design infographics so this was good to know.

The blog post gave some good tips on designing the infographic - less is more! I decided to do one to advertise our services. I wanted to focus on three things and found a template to suit my needs. I did find the template a little clunky to work with and I had to adjust what I wanted to suit the layout already there. I think with more knowledge and time, I could do a better job.
