Infographics Masterclass

VIEWdigital has asked graphic design expert Dr Ruth Brolly, an academic and former newspaper design editor, to lead an Infographics  masterclass. Places are strictly limited to six participants in the workshop which is part of  our ‘Communicate Your Story!’ media training led by industry experts.

Infographics are a great way to communicate information. They help to translate data into insights and understanding and present complex issues quickly.

Engaging infographics will improve your organisation’s visibility and reach and increase your organisation’s audience engagement on social media.

Past participants have used the training to use Infographics in their organisation’s annual reports. You will find infographics published in traditional media such as newspapers and magazines and across digital channels, where social media has helped fuel an explosion in their popularity.

The VIEWdigital Infographics masterclass follows a practical tutorial format. The free software, Canva, an online resource is used. Participants should, prior to the session, go to www.canva.com and create a free, basic account using their email and a password. This is a straightforward process, taking only minutes, but done in advance it will allow the participants to get straight into training, making maximum use of the time.

This is a really engaging session for participants and should leave them with a positive sense of achievement and a sound grounding in how to create infographic designs for future application to their work output.

Here's what past participants have said:

“I can’t recommend this Infographics masterclass highly enough. Ruth was fantastic and very patient. I love utilising infographics for a variety of purposes both professionally and personally and feedback is always so positive.  I had some knowledge before the masterclass but came out feeling more confident and inspired to use them in my work. Ruth caters for all abilities and offers tailored training for each participant. A really engaging and fun session” (Sarah from Women's Aid Belfast & Lisburn)
