One of my favorite combinations is a darker blue with a brighter color like orange. Here&#8217;s an example:<\/span><strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2021\/08\/contrast-12-1.png\" alt=\"Headline Contrast Infographic Design Example\" class=\"wp-image-50207\" width=\"700\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Contrast using typography sizes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The header is usually the largest text on an infographic, followed by the subheader and then the body copy.

Use&nbsp;a grid design<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Grids and wireframes provide a structural basis for any design, including infographics. Designing on grids allows you to easily organize elements and information. Grids also help you to keep design elements aligned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, when aligning items in a tall infographic, you can reference the same vertical grid lines and space each list item accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The image below shows how color palettes are aligned on a graphic design grid. Venngage gives you the option to add grids to your design. Just click on the <strong>File<\/strong> option at the top navigation menu, select <strong>Page settings<\/strong> from the options, and click on <strong>Show grids<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2025\/02\/show-grids-min-1024x584.png\" alt=\"how to add gridlines on Venngage\" class=\"wp-image-100002\" width=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2025\/02\/show-grids-min-1024x584.png 1024w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2025\/02\/show-grids-min-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2025\/02\/show-grids-min-768x438.png 768w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2025\/02\/show-grids-min-1536x875.png 1536w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2025\/02\/show-grids-min-2048x1167.png 2048w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2025\/02\/show-grids-min-730x416.png 730w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>For your infographic design, you can use grids to create margins. Make sure you keep enough space between your elements and the edge of your canvas to avoid visual tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your margins can be any size you want, but it&#8217;s important to keep them consistent across the design. A good rule of thumb is to keep all objects and elements at least 20px (one square on the grid) away from the edge of the canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4\"><strong>6.

Besides images, charts and icons, your choice of fonts and the way you style them set the tone for your design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/font-psychology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Typography<\/a> is a key design element that can help you convey ideas and feelings. For example, some <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/infographic-fonts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">infographic fonts<\/a> are perfect for professional and business communication such as Helvetic, Times New Roman or Ariel. On the other hand, you can use elegant fonts for <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/invitations\/wedding\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wedding invitations<\/a>, corporate parties or graduation celebrations.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fun fact: <\/strong>People read Georgia (serif) 7.9% faster than Helvetica (sans serif), but the difference isn\u2019t huge. Surprisingly, they think they do better with serifs, even though they read faster and understand more with sans serifs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be conscious of these nuances when <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/how-to-choose-fonts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">choosing the best fonts for your design<\/a>.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, try to limit the amount of text you use in your infographic. The best infographic designs focus on visual content, with text in a supporting role.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the infographic below which relies mostly on icons, dates and headers with minimal text:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/infographics\/pandemic-refugee-crisis-timeline-infographic-62150908-5325-4a88-aae8-0e807a8b6656\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Covid-Refugee-Crisis-Infographic.png\" alt=\"COVID-19 Refugee Crisis Infographic Design\" class=\"wp-image-59221\" width=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Covid-Refugee-Crisis-Infographic.png 816w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Covid-Refugee-Crisis-Infographic-300x295.png 300w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Covid-Refugee-Crisis-Infographic-768x755.png 768w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Covid-Refugee-Crisis-Infographic-730x717.png 730w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/infographics\/pandemic-refugee-crisis-timeline-infographic-62150908-5325-4a88-aae8-0e807a8b6656\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><button class=\"btn-cta\"><b>EDIT THIS INFOGRAPHIC TEMPLATE<\/b><\/button><\/a><\/center>&nbsp;\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure your text is legible.

But don\u2019t stick with just one. A tasteful use of two <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/brand-fonts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">brand fonts<\/a> can create a nice dynamic and hierarchy of information:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2019\/07\/typography-ex.png\" alt=\"Save the Whales Infographic Design\" class=\"wp-image-50230\" width=\"500\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>You can take a simpler approach like this infographic design, which uses one font for headers and another for body copy:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/infographics\/customer-journey-0db45650-e1f5-4cba-8a87-c7c3f3e4861d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Customer-Journey-Infographic.png\" alt=\"Customer Journey Infographic Design\" class=\"wp-image-59225\" width=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Customer-Journey-Infographic.png 800w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Customer-Journey-Infographic-141x300.png 141w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Customer-Journey-Infographic-482x1024.png 482w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Customer-Journey-Infographic-768x1632.png 768w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Customer-Journey-Infographic-723x1536.png 723w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Customer-Journey-Infographic-730x1551.png 730w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/infographics\/customer-journey-0db45650-e1f5-4cba-8a87-c7c3f3e4861d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><button class=\"btn-cta\"><b>EDIT THIS INFOGRAPHIC TEMPLATE<\/b><\/button><\/a><\/center>&nbsp;\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, you can use one font type for communicating numbers and statistics and another font for texts to create a hierarchy of information:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2019\/07\/typographt-ex-2.png\" alt=\"Font Type Example Infographic Design\" class=\"wp-image-50231\" width=\"500\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7\"><strong>8.&nbsp;Use photograph<\/strong>s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using photography can be tricky, especially if you don&#8217;t have a photographer to take shots of what you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, there are ways to work around not having a photographer.

But beware, using stock images can look uncreative and generic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure the photos you use follow a cohesive style and good lighting. Pick photos with similar lighting effects, backdrops and symmetry. It&#8217;s important to stick to a certain style because<\/span> mismatched images will distract readers from your message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re going for a simple modern look, use images with one solid color against white backdrops. Want to add a newspaper-like feel to your infographic?

Maintain consistency<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep design elements consistent for a smooth infographic flow. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you&#8217;re using filled-in icons, rather than line art icons, keep it the same throughout your entire infographic:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/infographics\/google-io-3a37e871-e586-4805-aab8-7d6e0c217118\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2021\/08\/infographic-design-4.png\" alt=\"History of Technology Timeline Infographic Design\" class=\"wp-image-50217\" width=\"700\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/infographics\/google-io-3a37e871-e586-4805-aab8-7d6e0c217118\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><button class=\"btn-cta\"><b>EDIT THIS INFOGRAPHIC TEMPLATE<\/b><\/button><\/a><\/center>&nbsp;\n\n\n\n<p>The same concept applies to the style of images you use, your font style and your color palette. Keeping all these elements consistent will prevent your infographic from looking cluttered, and will actually make it easier to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan to share your infographics widely in the public domain, you&#8217;ll also need to <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/brand-consistency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">maintain brand consistency<\/a> across your designs for easy recall and recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not sure how to use <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/infographic-design-6-ways-to-use-icons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">infographic icons<\/a> properly in your designs?

Practice makes you perfect<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating the perfect infographic often takes a few rounds of revisions to get right. You&#8217;ll need to play around with what works and what doesn&#8217;t. If you&#8217;re like us, you&#8217;ll design a few duds before you make a masterpiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, you can shorten the learning curve by using a ready-to-use <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\">infographic template<\/a>. You can also refer to <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/what-is-an-infographic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">infographic examples<\/a> for you to draw inspiration from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One last tip: When in doubt, ask someone else to look over your design before you publish it. Sometimes, you need a fresh set of eyes to tell you what works and what doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are some common mistakes to avoid when creating infographics?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating effective infographics requires attention to detail and strategic design choices. Here are some common mistakes to avoid:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Information overload: Too much data can overwhelm readers. Focus on key points and simplify complex information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Poor color contrast: Low contrast reduces readability. Use contrasting colors for text and background.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inconsistent design elements: Mixing different fonts and styles looks unprofessional. Keep a consistent style throughout.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lack of visual hierarchy: Organize information so readers know where to look first. Use size and positioning to guide attention.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The difference between good and not-so-good infographic design<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s no accident that infographics have emerged as a sought-after <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/visual-content-marketing-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">visual content<\/a> medium across all niches. Done well, infographics can help you communicate complex information visually and in an engaging way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s an example of a <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/good-infographic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">good infographic<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/infographics\/diversity-and-inclusion-terminology-infographic-dbc47165-dee4-478f-a0b9-313a54a5338a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Diversity-Inclusion-Terminology-Infographic.png\" alt=\"Diversity and Inclusion Terminology Infographic Design\" class=\"wp-image-59209\" width=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Diversity-Inclusion-Terminology-Infographic.png 816w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Diversity-Inclusion-Terminology-Infographic-232x300.png 232w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Diversity-Inclusion-Terminology-Infographic-791x1024.png 791w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Diversity-Inclusion-Terminology-Infographic-768x994.png 768w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Diversity-Inclusion-Terminology-Infographic-730x945.png 730w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/infographics\/diversity-and-inclusion-terminology-infographic-dbc47165-dee4-478f-a0b9-313a54a5338a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><button class=\"btn-cta\"><b>EDIT THIS INFOGRAPHIC TEMPLATE<\/b><\/button><\/a><\/center>&nbsp;\n\n\n\n<p>But for every well-made infographic, there are a handful of <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/bad-infographics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bad infographic<\/a> designs circling the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poorly designed infographics can skew and obscure information, rather than make it easier to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So it&#8217;s worth taking the time to form a basic understanding of infographic design best practices.
