Infographic Design

An infographic is not decoration on top of numbers - it is an argument made visible, where the wrong chart or a misleading axis can quietly lie. This course teaches the working pipeline real information designers use: interrogating a dataset to find the one story worth telling, matching each question to the correct chart type, stripping junk so the data leads, building a reusable icon and color system, structuring a vertical narrative that carries a reader top to bottom, and exporting clean files for both an Instagram feed and an A3 print. You work in tools you likely already have - Figma, Canva, Illustrator, and a spreadsheet - and ground every choice in the evidence-based principles of Edward Tufte, Alberto Cairo, and Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic. By the end you will have one complete, fact-checked infographic built on real data, with a defensible chart, a consistent visual system, and correctly sized exports.
