A successful infographic should focus on a single topic, balancing visual and written elements while maintaining clarity and readability.

Coming up with an infographic idea is half the battle to creating a killer infographic.
And the way to come up with great infographic idea is to figure out what your
audience wants.

6. One of the advantages of infographics is that
they can distill advanced ideas into a simple
visual form.

7. Simplicity, discussed above, is
ultimately about focus. Don’t
just make your infographic a of
facts and figures. Make it a
focused on a single topic.

I’ve seen infographics that are short on
the “graphic” and long on the “info.” The
best infographics are ones that have a
good balance of visual information with
written information.

9. Sometimes, an infographic gets lost in
its resizing. The designer makes it
huge, then the developer has to
downsize it. In the process, the
readability gets lost.

The typefaces we use within any design are
so important and can be the difference
between a great design and a giant
headache for your viewer. Try to limit the
fonts your use to two, three at the very
maximum.

11. An infographic is an exercise in graphic
design best practice. Any graphic designer
will tell you that white space is important.

12. t
Your infographic’s headline is extremely important. The infographic doesn’t get
any attention if it doesn’t have a great headline.
An infographic is like a good story. It has the ability to convey an idea by taking you
from one phase to another, sequentially and seamlessly.
Just because you’re making an infographic doesn’t mean that you’re released from
needing to cite your sources. Where did you get your data?
