Visual Storytelling Through Infographics

Visual Storytelling through Infographics

“Congratulations! You have reached the end of this course. Thank you so much for joining me. It has been a great experience sharing my creative process with you! I hope you have discovered the power of infographics and learned new techniques to translate your ideas into a visual form. Now it's time to work on your project if you haven't finished it, or share it with the community if it's ready. I made an infographic visualizing the process behind the production of coffee, as this is a topic that interests me personally. I encourage you to use the visual style that you prefer, research the subject that intrigues you, and create a unique infographic. As a reminder, I have summarized the main steps you should follow to complete your project: Message and Audience Figure out your message and your audience. Don't forget to do proper research and save your sources! The Story Write a simple story that explains the process step by step. Look for the moments that are absolutely necessary to the process and highlight them.

Sketches Look at the different visualization models to guide your inspiration while considering the best ways to represent your key moments. Do as many sketches as possible and find the images that better depict the moments you are trying to represent. Draft and Design With your list of key moments and some visualizations, it's time to merge all together and make a rough draft of your infographic. If you're using an illustration app, sketch all the elements individually in separate layers. Consider the necessary design principles while working on the composition and find a logical way to tell your visual story. Clean up the draft and work on the final design. Make the graphics and place them where needed. Draw and create unique visualization elements and add your chosen colors. Final Review Show your infographic to a few friends and ask them to look for typos and spelling mistakes. This is also a good moment to ask if your design is clear enough. Please share your finished infographic in the forum. You can do so by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. Lastly, remember to participate in the forum! Domestika has a great community, where we are all looking to grow and learn. So join in, share your process, ideas, and doubts, and comment on others' work. I look forward to your notes, comments, and questions and will try to get back to you as soon as possible. See you soon! ”

“Final Project Thank you so much for taking my course. It means the world to me that you want to learn more about the power of infographics and sharing information about subjects that are important to you. When sharing your work, remember to double fact check all the information in advance. We don't want to spread misinformation. Remember the most important rule is to check your sources and credit them appropriately. It is recommended to create an alt text. That is a simple sentence that describes the graphic. In our case it will read an infographic showing the process of coffee production f...”
