Interactive infographics are a great way to engage your audience and get your message across. They can be used to promote your brand, explain a complex concept, or simply tell a story. Best of all, they’re easy to make in Canva!
Canva is a free online design platform that’s beloved by bloggers and small businesses for its simple and intuitive design interface. You don’t need any design experience to create beautiful infographics with Canva – just a willingness to experiment and have some fun!
To get started, head over to Canva.com and create a free account. Then, click on the “Create a Design” button and select “Infographic” from the list of design options. You’ll be taken to a blank canvas where you can start adding text, images, and shapes to your infographic.
There are two ways to add text to your infographic: you can either use one of Canva’s preset text boxes or you can click on the “Add Text” button and type out your own text. For this tutorial, we’ll be using one of the preset text boxes. To add a preset text box, simply click on it and type out your text.
Once you’ve added all the text you want, it’s time to add some images. Canva has a huge library of royalty-free images that you can use in your infographic for free.
To find an image, click on the “Search” tab in the left-hand sidebar and type in a keyword related to the image you’re looking for. For example, if you want an image of a computer, you would type in “computer.”
Once you find an image you like, simply click on it and it will be added to your canvas. To edit the image, click on it and then click on the “Edit” button in the toolbar that appears above the image. From here, you can crop or resize the image, change its color or brightness, or add filters.
After you’ve added all the images you want, it’s time to add some shapes. Shapes can help break up your infographic and add visual interest.
To add a shape, click on the “Shapes” tab in the left-hand sidebar and select the shape you want to add from the list of options. Once you select a shape, it will appear on your canvas. You can then move it around and resize it as needed.
When you’re happy with how your infographic looks, click on the “Download” button in the top-right corner of the screen and select either “PNG” or “JPEG” from the list of options. PNG is best for infographics with lots of images or graphics while JPEG is best for infographics with fewer images or graphics.
In conclusion, yes – you can most definitely make an interactive infographic using Canva!
