Infographics
Step 1 Choose an issue that you are interested, and do an internet search for “___________________
infographic.” Choose one that you find interesting, then copy and paste the infographic to a Google Doc
and/or print it out to accompany this analysis. Then, fill out the following information about the
infographic.
Step 2 – Fill out the following information about infographic #1
What is the title of the infographic?
Who (person/company/organization) made it?
What is the main idea of the infographic?
What do you see first? Why?
What stands out to you at second glance? Why?
Where does your eye travel? (Describe a specific part of
the infographic that your eye is drawn to).
How do you read this image? (From left to right? Straight
down? Circular? Etc.)
How does the organization of information/text structure
help you understand important themes?
How is color used? What is bright and what is dull in
color? Why do you think the creator chose to do this?
What types of images are used? How do you think they
help make the message effective?
What other features did the creator use to make the
infographic interesting? (Think size of text/images, font
styles, point of focus, layout, etc.)
What do you like/dislike about this infographic?
Who is the audience of the infographic? (The people
most likely to use/benefit from this information).
Is the infographic credible? (Are there links to outside
sources provided?)
Step 3 – Think of a different issue or topic (school appropriate) that you already know something
about. (This could be something as serious as bullying or gun violence, or something as carefree as
details about your favourite band or a type of food you like). Go to the website canva.com (you can
choose ‘Log in with Google’), and select an infographic template. Now, put in your own information
and images to create your own infographic.
(NOTE: You are NOT required to do research for this – you can use what you already know. However,
you cannot make up things like statistics – if you choose to use them, you must find accurate ones).
Once done, either print your infographic, or share the infographic with your teacher. (Share button is
at the top right of the website).
