Guidelines for creating an effective infographic (adopted from Fleming, n.d.)

• Make a claim: a good infographic should state or imply a claim and present evidence to support that
claim.
• Use accurate data: once you state your claim, find evidence to support it (quoted material, statistics,
findings, etc.).
• Write concisely: an infographic’s text should be clear, concise, and brief.
• Don’t present too much information: readers may be turned off or intimidated by too much text or or a
graphic is too packed with images to be effective.

• Finalize and review your research: this will help you with the next step.
• Familiarize yourself with the data and the different ways to present it, and then choose the most
appropriate visual representation for your project.
• Choose colors and fonts that match or seem appropriate to your overall message.
• Consider creating two different versions of your infographic so that you may choose the most effective
one for your specific audience and purpose.
• Cite all your references and image sources.
