Give the chance to your reader to understand it without the text. You can (and should) use keywords. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Share all the information in topics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharing the information on the topic must feel like you are creating a diagram. Following a line of thoughts. Sharing topics is a great way to not tired your reader, and give it the sensation of a short and easy reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Use visual information<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrary to \u201cwrite the minimum\u201d, this is opened and not limited at all in any way. You can use any visual resource you think will better explain the message you want to pass to your reader. However, every image needs to have a purpose and a function inside the bigger picture of your infographic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s check out a practical example. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below there is a ready template available in the <a href=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mind the Graph<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/templates\">templates library.<\/a> In order for you to see each pillar in the practice, we highlighted template icons with red squares.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/workspace\/user-creations\/302282\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/thumb-1.png\" alt=\"mind the graph template\" class=\"wp-image-13057\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/thumb-1.png 550w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/thumb-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/thumb-1-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Writing the minimum and sharing information on topics are always walking together.
