Infographic

Reading is Relevant!

After reading reviews of online tools used for creating infographics, I decided to use Picktochart.  I loved the idea of being able to embed videos into the infographic; however, it does limit how it can be saved and presented. 

My biggest challenges were manipulating the font and getting my work to actually save even though it indicated that it was saved.  For some reason, I could see other available fonts, but I could not get them to work.

After investing numerous hours due to the fact that I had to recreate my entire infographic because it did not save, I decided to focus more on learning how to create the content that I wanted to include, remain concise, use current data, and utilize a good amount of variety.

Hopefully, my story is apparent.  In America, the ability to read, often has a great impact on an individual’s future, there are many benefits of reading, and there are ways we can help motivate students to read.

As I become more proficient at designing infographics, there will be additional time to focus on creating infographics that reflect the concepts of design that help to create products that look more professional.   I’m looking forward to learning more about creating effective infographics as I view the work of my classmates.
