Infographics: Introduction

Creating and presenting visually attractive data is an art form. Infographics, also known as information graphics, are visual representations of data, knowledge or information using clever composition and visual flow in a clear, understandable, visually stimulating way. This one day course will teach you to assess data, define your message and then plan and execute well designed infographics that are clear and easy to understand.

This course assumes that you are able to draw the graphics using a program such as Adobe Illustrator. If you have no knowledge of Adobe Illustrator, we can extend or change the course content to reflect this, please call us to discuss this option.
