How can I contact you?

[@chezmaster719]

This is just for me, feel free to ignore idc 1: aim to include information as images, only use actual text with essentials 2: stick to 2-3 different fonts and colours for text 3: keep an organised image, eg clean margins 4: design elements need to be evenly spaced and easy to view 5: choose a simple colour scheme and think about what colours to choose 6: visual hierarchy, the most important things should be the easiest to view 7: elements in a design need to be sized appropriately 8: size matters (lmao) in reference to the quality of the infographic 9: use highest resolution possible when using images and DONT USE THINGS THAT DONT BELING TO YOU 10: icons should stick to the same style, again, stay consistent 11: include interactivity, let the audience interact with the infographic 12: animation can catch the audience’s attention 13: include research based data 14: make sure you have permission to use elements on your infographic 15: jesus man okay I get it you want to promote visme

[@NikkiBrescoach]

Great video but when I went to actually use Visme, it wanted me to purchase it which was very deceptive. Never using Visme again!

[@nikkibeltran6185]

Definitely his a vegan ..its a bop!

[@VisconitiKingfr]

Great video! Simple and easy to understand. But it was all "Visme this, Visme that..." which was kind of annoying.

[@mohamednaflan4361]

These are general Design rules/principals not specific to Infographics

[@jesus_isourcreator5734]

Hey you, Jesus is real! He loves you and died for you. You are never too far gone to accept Him in your heart! :) Have a good day!!💝

[@MaiElizabeth]

Have you seen him????

[@Hippopatumas]

random, but ok

[@ormanxd247]

How can god die

[@Hippopatumas]

@@ormanxd247 she said Jesus 💀💀

[@ananiahkhariselane-gd6hk]

No, but he lives in us and in our hearts, just try to let Him in. Even science proves that god exists, because there are some things that science can't explain and only leads to the fact that there is a creator greater than us. God loves you no matter what, he's always there for you, and even if you think He doesn't hear you, He does, sometime he just doesn't answer it because he has a better plan ready for you. Conflicts in your life will lead you closer to Him. ❤

[@HussainDaveham]

That's a lengthy video, wish you made a 5 minute vidographic
