Thing 21 – Infographics

Infographics seem to be becoming more popular especially when people are having to provide a lot of information in a very limited time and space.  There have also been several series of information books which are stylistically infographics and this seems to make the information more accessible to the intended audience.  I first came across Piktochart earlier in the year when I was doing a MOOC about Digital Literacy.  Whilst I managed to produce the short infographic shown above, I do not feel that I have got to grips with the layouts and the methods of adding to the page.  It feels as if all the things that I have problems with have been left to the end of this course, but I really do feel that I want to feel more comfortable with their use.  I suspect that they are the ones that I need to actually do with someone talking me through it, with me madly making notes that make sense to my brain.  I feel several visits to YouTube coming on.
