Infographics are a powerful way to create visually appealing contents to present complex information. You will learn to use Adobe Illustrator software to design icons, graphics, type, graphs and charts to represent real data. We will also look at Infographics’ structure and how to simplify information to make it attractive, easy to understand and deliver maximum impact.

Infographics can be used to express data, statistics, timelines, processes, relationships and stories. Infographics can be applied in websites, blogs, social media, brochures, presentations, reports, adverts, posters, teaching, comic subjects, magazines, awareness campaigns, and even resumes.

Students will work using up-to-date software in one of our well-equipped and fully accessible studios at our Covent Garden site.

Although this is a non-accredited course, students successfully completing the course will be awarded our City Lit Certificate – based on achievements of the course outcomes and attendance.
