Learn how to design public health infographics with software you know & use!
As a public health professional, our responsibility is to effectively communicate findings to our audiences.
Today, we (along with our audience) receive more information than ever before – some sources say that the numbers are as high as 100,000+ words per day, and this doesn’t include what people consume at work! Getting through all of this noise, and effectively communicating your public health message (whether it’s to the public, senior management, or stakeholders of a project) is extremely important. I would even go as far as saying that as a public health professional, it is our responsibility to ensure that quality public health information is translated in a way that is easily consumable by population groups we serve and deeply care about.
And if you haven’t guessed it, this is where infographics come in, and I’m going to teach you how to design them!
Since 2011, I have been designing infographics (and other visual products for even longer than that), and have seen first hand its effectiveness in disseminating key messages to different audiences. And here’s the good thing, I was self-taught, which means that you don’t need to have a degree/diploma in graphic design school to design infographics for your work. That being said, I did have to learn A LOT of new concepts like design principles, visualization techniques, colour palettes, and font pairing, on my own, and then apply them to public health.
During this steep learning curve, I charted my progress of what works and what doesn’t. I’ve poured my lessons learned into this course to give you the strategies that truly work from start to finish. With my guided lessons and strategies, I have witnessed people with very little design background jump into designing their own infographic, with confidence!
I’m here to help you take your public health data and information and tell a story using infographics, and I hope you’ll join me and hundreds of other students on a mission to better communicate public health information – let’s get started!
