Assess your learning – Answer the quiz

Search the internet.

Who do I want to address? What kind of pictures does my audience like to look at?

Only show the most important numbers, such as highs, lows and average. Do not use full sentences bit words and short phrases.

In Google you can find pictures with a suitable licence like that:
Search for images using keywords as usual.
When results are returned click “Search Tools”
Choose “Usage Rights”. Select an option from the dropdown menu.

Creative step 1: Create pictures for the items.
Creative step 2: Use the templates that come with PowerPoint and keep it simple.
Creative step 3: Find a way to show large numbers and small numbers.
Creative step 4: Add words and numbers if necessary
Creative step 5: Find a suitable background
Creative step 6: Create a meaningful title
Creative step 7: Save it as a presentation and then as picture in a jpg.

Associate for each item a meaningful picture (creative moment). Then create or find them. For sports you could use the means you need to perform it such as a ball to represent football, a bike to represent cycling and so on…

Use the size of pictures to show the importance: big pictures represent big numbers, small pictures represent small numbers.

Less is more in infographics but using no words of numbers might mislead the viewer. So ask yourself: what is the minimum of numbers and words I need to add to make my infographic understood?

Depending on your pictures, words and phrases your background needs to help them “shine”. It should be a good contrast to the pictures and words. Try out different versions!

Show your infographic to at least 3 persons and see if they understand what you want to say by just looking at your infographic. If they ask questions, these questions will lead you to the bit you should revise or change in your infographic.
