What is an infographic?
An infographic is a succinct visual representation of
information. It includes a variety of elements such as
images, icons, text, charts, and diagrams to convey
messages briefly.
It helps to communicate complex and detailed information
in an easily understandable format.
The design of this infographic is entirely your choice.
Exploring sites such as Canva and PowerPoints will provide
templates to prepare your Infographic. Remember to
adhere to the principles of an infographic – less text and
more imagery to convey meaning.
Templates are available when you use PowerPoints or Canva
