Data visualization as a hot topic in the evaluation world, especially in knowledge transfer activities. This webinar will focus on infographics: an artistic or graphic presentation of data to communicate insights. We will orient infographics in the realm of data visualization, illustrating the different types of infographics, then switch our focus to the science of why we use infographics in communicating to our various audiences. The workshop offers a step-by-step process to create infographics, and including relevant design elements of graphics, colour, and font, which all provide visual cues to our most important element: the data. We will then put these elements together with examples, and look at some resources and tools for infographic production. The session will conclude with a short question and answer period.
