What is an infographic?
An infographic is a visual representation that tells a story, explains a concept or makes a point.

Infographics allow you to present complex information in a format that is quick and easy to read.

Qualities of a good infographic
To make a successful infographic, keep the following things in mind:
Infographics require research. You need to be able to prove that you know what you're talking about.
Data is the key. Choose data that can be used as evidence to support your main idea.
Simplicity. Infographics are meant to be simple and easy to read. Don't clutter up the space with too many words or images.
Stay focused. Don't try to include everything. Only choose information/data directly relating to your topic.
Cite your sources. Unless you've done your own data collection, you need to cite all sources that were used.
