Introduction

Infographics are one of the most popular ways to share information on social media and in blog posts. They’re easy to create and can help you reach a wide audience, but if you don’t know how to use colour, fonts and icons effectively, your infographic could end up looking amateurish or even ugly. In this article, we’ll show you how to avoid common mistakes while creating beautiful infographics with Venngage’s free online tool

Balance the white space in your infographic

White space is one of the most important elements in a well-designed infographic. The use of white space can help to balance out the visual elements on your infographic, creating harmony and flow throughout.

White space can also be used to highlight important sections of text or separate sections. This creates a clean, organised look that’s appealing to viewers and helps them scan through your infographic quickly while still getting the information they need from it.

Don’t use too many fonts or too many font styles

The key to a beautiful infographic is having one main font that you stick with throughout the entire piece. This will help the reader keep track of what they’re reading and make it feel more cohesive. The same goes for font styles—stick to one, maybe two at most (bold, italic), and then make sure that all text looks consistent with those choices.

Use icons and illustrations to add visual interest

Icons and illustrations can enhance the presentation of your infographic, without making it look cluttered or busy. Make sure the icons and illustrations are relevant to the topic but avoid using too many of them at once.

Icons are small images that represent something in a specific way. They are also called pictographs. For example, an icon of a picture frame can show that you’re talking about photos or pictures, while an icon of a house shows that you’re talking about houses or family.
