How to Create Infographics with Figma: A Step-by-Step Guide
Unleash the power of visualization in your content strategy with our guide on how to create compelling infographics using Figma – a versatile collaborative interface design tool.
Step 1: Open a New Figma Project
The first step to creating an engaging infographic is to start a new project in Figma. You can do this by hitting the ‘+’ button on the top-right corner of the projects page.
Step 2: Select the Frame Tool
The Frame tool is the primary tool you’ll use to design your infographic. Click the Frame tool on the left side of your workspace and select a size ratio from the right-hand side panel. For a typical infographic, a vertical rectangle frame works best.
Step 3: Lay Out Your Information
Decide what information you want to put on your infographic. The goal is to present complex information quickly and clearly. *Simplicity and clarity* are keys here.
Step 4: Apply Texts and Shapes
Now apply your data to the frame using the Text and Shape tools situated on the left panel. Remember to balance out visual elements and white space; it creates a less cluttered, more engaging design.
Step 5: Utilize Colors, Fonts, and Icons
Be aware of your color choices.**Figma** has a fantastic color-picker tool on the right panel to help you choose colors that are eye-catching but not overpowering. The right fonts and icons can also add a lot of character to your infographic. Find them in the Design Assets.
Step 6: Invite Feedback and Collaboration
One of the great things about Figma is that it’s built for collaboration. Once you’ve laid out your infographic, you can invite others into the project to leave comments, make edits, or just review your design.
