Now we already know the importance of sketching. The first version is always different from the final version. So, start working and make the first draft. Visualization is important for new insights.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind the main question of your infographic. You need to highlight that.<\/p>\n

You should structure the layout to create a natural information flow, with highlighted information that the reader will see first, even from a distance, such as title and main image. The more secondary information should be less prominent in order not to pollute the view and take priority.<\/p>\n

To create the hierarchy of the elements, edit the colors, size and fonts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Choosing the colors<\/h3>\n

The infographic colors should match with all elements. Choose a palette and combine styles. You can use complementary colors or monochrome tones.<\/p>\n

Use color to highlight important information or\u00a0to group related elements. In this Mind the Graph template, the highlight information is the colors of the spiders. Therefore, all the infographic is in grayscale to not compete with the main data.<\/p>\n

A picture is worth a thousand words.<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n

The illustrations are easier to understand and catch the reader’s attention. But, it is not easy to find stunning images to use in presentations, graphical abstracts, mainly scientific illustrations. It is not enough to use images, you need quality images, scientifically accurate, beautiful and that combine with your infographic design. A beautiful and professional creation makes a lot of difference in the bottom line.<\/span><\/p>\n
