Thank you for the invitation

 

Infographic is the art of communicating information with pictures and symbols instead of video or writing. The history of this art dates back to the year 7500 BC, when man engraved images and symbols on the walls of the caves to preserve history for generations. The first infographic was discovered in 1786

 

Infographic returned to appear in the era of technology with the beginning of the birth of social media between 2005 and 2006 to show only 5 images Infographic, and developed until it spread and jumped rapidly with the year 2011 to 2000.000 image

 

Draw a scenario before design

Build a database and compile information in a database program such as Excel

Strengthen the design with numbers

Simplicity and avoid padding

One type commitment in design

Smoothness and simplicity in color selection

Adopt the sequence and pattern in the information listing (horizontal-circular-square-pyramid ..)

After you finish your design look at it, if you can understand and get the message of your design then its effective or let others look at it. If they can understand and get the message its fair enough.

Tips :

1. clean

2. direct to the point

3. use elements that can translate your message clearly

4. put yourself in a 8 years old kid then look at your design

5. simple

it is being transparent with your approach... i believe when designing we should not design for designers unless they are the target if they are not the target simple effective means is crucial. clarity simplicity without unnecessary visual baggage and noise. Knowing what is you message specifically and what do you want the conclusion to be after seeing the inforgraph. Basically knowing why your are showing the data you are showing and the how will unfold for you because the data speaks for itself. 

First start with a good idea thats important,second make it simple,third think abut arange your thoughts and tools .and avoid alot of content

To be short, I suppose that info graphics should be presented with flat and simple design to pass the information fast and clear.
