Learn to communicate through images by exploring design concepts and tools for creating infographics
Everything has a graphic interpretation; for journalism, it's infographics. In this online course, illustrator Norberto Baruch, better known as El Norbi, teaches you all about this image-driven narrative genre that doesn't separate form from content.
Infographics are a precise, succinct, and conceptual format, but they are also extremely versatile in that they allow you to address any subject you like. With Norberto as your guide, explore the art of creating infographics through a topic that everyone enjoys: superheroes and comic book characters. By the end, you'll know the design concepts and tools to present information in an interesting and easy-to-understand visual format.
