1. Too Much Information
When creating an infographic, it’s essential to refrain from adding too much data. Doing so can make your infographic more manageable and manageable to the viewer.
To avoid this, first, review the data you have to determine what is essential for your visual message. Then, focus on highlighting key points within your infographic.
2. Cluttered Design
Attempting to overcrowd with too many elements, complex visuals, or text on infographics can distract viewers and make them harder to read. When choosing an infographic layout it is best to keep the design clean and organized by having a clear purpose and sticking to the core information.
Make sure that the visuals chosen are simple and complement the main message rather than complicate it. Also, use only necessary design elements such as headlines and icons and be sparing with colors.
3. Poor Readability
When creating infographics to bolster your brand, ensure that the text in your infographic is legible. Use readable free fonts and maintain enough contrast between the text and background.
Choose a font color that stands out from your background for clarity, and make it large enough so that it doesn’t need to be squinted at.
4. Lack of Visual Hierarchy
Be sure to establish a clear visual hierarchy by using size, color, and placement to lead the viewer’s attention. Size can be used to emphasize an element or make it stand out. Color can also draw the viewer’s attention to an area.
The placement allows viewers’ eyes to flow more naturally through the design, starting with the most important into the least important elements.
5. Inconsistent Style
The best way to create a cohesive visual experience is to maintain consistency in style throughout the infographic. This can be done using the same color palette, fonts, and design elements.
Establish a primary color early on to keep an eye on the consistency. Then create a “style guide” to use moving forward. This includes anything that could help keep the elements of the infographic looking the same, such as font size or type.
6. Lack of Storytelling
You should ensure their infographic tells a story or conveys a message. The first step in doing this is to figure out what story or message you want to promote with the infographic. From there, you should create visuals and graphics that support the story and add context to the data, further highlighting the message of the infographic.
