An infographic is “data, presented visually, that tells a story” (from Creating Infographics).

We have no shortage of tools and articles for how to generate an infographic, but the most important steps happen before you open a tool- identifying your audience, the topic, researching and tracking the data you will use, and planning out the best ways to visualize the information.

Or we have here, an infographic on creating an infographic! From Visme’s How to Create an Infographic: The Ultimate Guide:

The 9 steps of creating an infographic.

Experiment by creating an infographic to present data behind or as an explanation of an important concept in your discipline.

Recommended tools include Piktochart, Canva, Adobe Spark or other Infographic Tools in the Extend Toolkit.

This activity is part of the Let’s Experiment section of the Experimenter Module.
