How To Make Infographics

Infographic Requirements:

Requirements for the infographic:

  • Title that describes what your infographic is about (ex. If I wanted an IPad, what would I need to do?)
  • Reveals differences.
  • An infographic should show one of the following:
    • How something works (ex. 3-D movies),
    • The evolution of something (ex. a camera from its origins to today),
    • A statistical representation of an idea (ex. how much time is spend using technology for the average person during a day).
  • Relevant (will actually teach someone something that is meaningful)
  • School appropriate.
  • Statistical.  Includes numbers, percentages, etc.
  • Includes words to promote an understanding of your topic (usually, for every photo or image you have – you should have a concise statement to help your audience understand it)
  • ORIGINAL.  DO NOT plagiarize. It would be easy for you to find an infographic online and copy everything it says – do not do this! I will be checking this and I will find out.  Plagiarism is a serious academic offence!
  • References (sources of the data) are cited right on the infographic.
