While working for your infographic, make sure that what audience you're going to address what kind of designs they are more likely to put their attention to and also what type of data they are more interested. Is it a text worthy or it is a number oriented or it is a percentage oriented.

2 Choose your data
Once you have your purpose, you need to find and select the data that will support it. You can use your own data, such as surveys, analytics, or case studies, or you can use external sources, such as research reports, statistics, or industry trends. Make sure you use reliable and relevant data that matches your audience's needs and interests. Also, avoid using too much or too little data. You want to provide enough information to make your point, but not overwhelm or bore your audience.

In addition to providing a visually pleasing way to share data with your audience, your infographic should be informative, concise, and uncluttered. This is a great way to share information such as data trends, charts, and statistics in a way that makes it easy for you to convey your main points to your audience.

3 Visualize your data
The next step is to turn your data into visuals that will make it easier to understand and remember. You can use different types of charts, graphs, icons, images, or illustrations to represent your data. The key is to choose the visuals that best suit your data and your purpose. For example, if you want to compare different values, you can use a bar chart or a pie chart. If you want to show a process or a timeline, you can use a flowchart or a line chart. If you want to highlight a key fact or a quote, you can use a big font or a callout box.

Too much information in one infograph makes it more diffucult to read as well as understand. Same goes with too much colour and other highlights. Choose only the relevant points to be highlighted.

As a B2B marketer who frequently relies on infographics, I've encountered challenges when starting from scratch. What works for me is crafting a mood board with inspiring graphics and elements I aim to incorporate. With these in place, generating associations and design ideas becomes more straightforward. It's crucial to keep research visual for optimal results.

4 Organize your layout
After you have your visuals, you need to arrange them in a logical and coherent way. You want to create a clear hierarchy and flow for your infographic, so that your audience can follow your message and your story. You can use different techniques to organize your layout, such as grids, columns, sections, or frames. You can also use colors, shapes, lines, or arrows to guide your audience's eyes and attention. Make sure you leave enough white space and balance between your elements, so that your infographic looks clean and professional.

La infografía es una pieza para ser mirada de lejos y a su vez de cerca. Entonces, para que destaque, es importante tener en cuenta el layout de la pieza que será lo que atraiga al usuario.

I recommend setting the goal of quickly conveying key points. Simplify! Avoid placing too much information in one image. Utilize services like Canva, Easel.ly, Infogram, Piktochart, Venngage, and consider using AI, as it's quite common.

5 Optimize your SEO
Finally, you need to optimize your infographic for search engines, so that more people can find and view it. You can do this by adding relevant keywords, titles, and descriptions to your infographic file and page. You can also use alt text, captions, and transcripts to describe your infographic content and make it accessible to different devices and users. Additionally, you can use social media buttons, embed codes, or links to encourage your audience to share your infographic with others and increase its reach and visibility.

InfoGraphics combines Information (Nugget-sized content) and graphics (Amazing Visuals).To add the spice, let storytelling do its job. When you use it in the right combination, you have information that people would like to take with them and come back to you for more. First, structure the story, align the information around it and then present it with the visuals. That's how it's done - that one remembers.
