Infographics are everywhere, but creating one is harder than it looks. It’s one of those things, like many communication vehicles, where if you have done it well, it is so simple and effective, it looks easy.
I talk about infographics, visual abstracts, slides, and posters together because they combine some of the same elements (icons, color, shapes) and I use the same software to create all of them (PowerPoint).
