Infographic Illustration for Children and Young Adults

Start by meeting your teacher Daniela Martagón and find out how her professional career shifted from graphic design to editing and illustration for children and young adults. She also shows you some of her influences and introduces you to the course content.

Then get down to business and study some key factors you need to consider when designing infographics for different age groups. Analyze a set of informational books and compare the different strategies they use. Finally, lay the foundations for your personal project.

Start with a concept map to help you formulate and categorize your questions so you can make connections between your chosen topic and others. Next, do some research, make a mood board, and create an outline filling it in with layers of information.

In the final unit, learn how to export your file to use in both print media and on websites. Daniela wraps everything up with some advice on how to reach your audience and get started in the children’s outreach sector including best practices and making connections at professional events.
