It is possibles to download infographic after we don it from your application?

i was working for infographics for approximately 5 years and I faced many difficulties because of NOT following these 5 breakdowns. From today this will save my life forever. Thank you so much!!!

[@robtallini1346]

Great advice for entry level projects in designing infographics! One thing I would consider is conveying your message through your picture rather than depending on text with a supporting picture. A great infographic should be able to establish its ideas without next to no text. Good luck!

Damn! After months of struggling to make an infographic for my blog and spending hundreds of dollars to outsource this task to "designers," I found this video. I spend a lot of time learning how to use Illustrator mainly solely to do infographics and, even tho i got to a point where I am really good with it, I struggle a lot with the designing part. This is exactly what i needed! A road-map, a structure, a guide, a blueprint on what to do in order to make the process of creating an infographic as painless and hassle-free as possible. Thanks a lot for putting this video out there!

[@elainekatreynolds2703]

@venngage of all the youtube videos i have seen and i do not just mean for infograms or just how to videos, i literally mean all the KZbin videos in all the years of KZbin this has been one of the most well set out and easy to follow. It makes logical sense and is well put together. It uses language anyone can follow and this is a key component to a how to but also what it takes to make a great video. I subscribed based on the fact that i feel i can actually learn from you guys and that is rare when it comes to diagrams as i am brilliant at putting together diagrams and i have a degree in business analysis. I am not necessarily a field expert and I got stuck on how to draw my current infogram so i came to KZbin for inspiration and I found a bunch of noobs that just show tools they use but this video actually gives theory and makes it easy to comprehend. I hope you guys get all the love and support that you deserve for this I am thankful to have found this video and the inspiration as well as the well put out video. Really well done. Ive been in IT for over 10 years so i can at least say from my own point of view this is really a brilliant video and thank you for the guidance in the right direction!!

[@venngagevids]

Thanks Elaine, really glad that you found the video helpful!

[@Hoteljuremabranca]

I am working on an infographic showing the factors leading to happiness in a certain profession. I found a great infographic template, but the underlying colors are bluish, which are usually more related to sadness. Which colors would you suggest for me to use in my infographic. Would it be possible for me to share it with you for a quick look?

You can use yellow,orange,and sky blue is not so sad

Hi, I had a question regarding printing size. Is there any way I could split my infographic into sections I could print separately on legal paper? My teacher said that it had to fairly big since it had to be visible from a reasonable distance. I'm under quite some pressure, considering it's summative and she doesn't let us work on it at home. Responding would be appreciated. Thanks.
