When creating your infographic poster, your group should do the following:

Focus on a single, big message

It`s ideal to focus on a single, coherent, big message that the whole infographic aims at conveying through metaphors, visuals etc.

Blending visuals and colors with text

Using eye-catching colors and visuals without losing the richness of reading materials. Try to choose some primary colors and visuals to enrich the texture and design.

Think of a strategy for using the space

Aligning your elements properly depends on the usage of space; you should decide on which information to use that matches to best background of your choice. The reader should be guided throughout the steps until they get to the final destination point you want them to reach at.

Selecting the right fonts

Since you are not going to use too much text; you may come up with three main fonts for title/header, main body and a third to enrich the texture in general.

Design an eye-catching sketch

You need to think of a storyline that flows from one point to another by attracting the reader with an-eye catching layout.
