Description

Learn the infograph techniques used by National Geographic

In this course you will learn what is the infographic, what function it fulfills, you will know its historical context and the different tendencies and influences, to then start working the bases of the infographic, learning to design a process and to play with the volumes and perspective.

Once the bases are established, you will undertake the creation of your final project, from the phase of the search of the information to the initial outline, the conceptualization and the first sketches. You will learn tricks to design the structure of the graph, taking into account the reading order of the infographic and enhancing the hook or visual impact.

You can help with techniques such as pencil or plasticine to perfect the sketches, then transfer them to the computer. With the use of Photoshop and Illustrator you can shape the infographic.

Finally, you can see different plastic solutions for the graphic, from basic formulas such as illustration, to techniques with sculpture, painting and different materials.

The important thing of the course is to demonstrate how to have fun doing infographics and to demonstrate that the fact of leaving the traditional methods and playing with other forms of expressivity, can improve the final graphic.
