  1. Focus on one aspect of your overall message.

  2. Use graphics to tell your story. You should use fewer than 250 words total.

  3. The sequence should be obvious to your audience. Like many good stories, your infographic should have a beginning, middle, and end. Carefully consider what data you will present and what visual tools (including charts) you will use to communicate that data. Your infographic should be illustrative and eye-catching; consider what icons, images, colors, and fonts will contribute to the clarity and impact of your infographic. It may help to experiment a bit to determine what works best.
