But, how we get started?

Hey bloggers!

In today's post I want to share with you how you can get started in this world of creating infographics. Mastering some programs like Adobe InDesign which enable you to create amazing infographics is crucial, but also difficult at the beginning. That's why we, at the Graphic Design course, started with basic exercises in order to learn how to deal with the pen tool. The pen tool is a basic staple to create good infographics because (and this is a VERY important thing) the more visual an infographic is, the more likely that the information is going to be perceived and processed by the reader. And how could be more visual than drawing your own figures for your infographic? I have to admit that at the beginning the pen tool was a nightmare for me, so don't pay much attention of the quality of the figures I did, but on the process that it's behind. You'll need lots and lots of concentration of what you're doing and also precision, but it's known worlwide: PATIENCE and PRACTISE is the key to improve in everything!

Here I leave you the exercise we did, in case you want to practise on your own.



Good luck!
Sara.
