Easel.ly LIVE Training Recap & Replay

Thanks to those who joined today’s live training!  We held another training opportunity on “How to Create Your First Infographic using Easel.ly” and it was packed with straightforward and practical steps to get you started with the Easel.ly designer! We also touched on easy ways to get started using Easel.ly’s design tool, from using templates, to inserting images or media, and ways to share your infographic. We had people from all around the globe and we loved hearing your ideas for infographic creations!  We especially loved the “Infographic Syllabus” idea that was shared! Fantastic idea! We also loved the idea of students creating infographics for their online school newspaper! What a great way to introduce infographics to students!  Feel free to share your creations with us on Twitter! We’d love to see them!

For additional tips on creating infographics, please download our free “Crash Course in Infographics” eBook which has loads of helpful tips for creating engaging, attractive infographics for your students, customers, or audience in general. Within this e-book, you also get our 13 Step Guide to Building an Infographic!  You can also visit the Easel.ly YouTube Channel for more tutorials and tips.

We gave an in-depth tutorial about the specific elements you find in the Creation Tool. When you click a template from Easel.ly’s homepage or search for one with the Search bar, you have the opportunity to create a new infographic all your own! You can upload images, YouTube videos, stock photos (NEW feature!), and different objects. You can change the font on your infographic, and with a Pro account, you can actually upload a different font.

Did you know that there are over 600,000 objects in Easel.ly’s Creation Tool? With the Pro account, you also get access to more features that make creating an awesome infographic so much easier!

Save, Download, and Upload
We also discussed saving your infographic to your Easel.ly account and downloading your infographic images in a variety of formats for your own purposes. We also discussed the ability to export your work from Easel.ly (in case you are working with sensitive information/data) and how to upload your work to continue editing.

6 Best Practices for Infographic Design
We also discussed the following best practices when designing infographics:

  • Limit your color palette
  • Keep imagery simple
  • Be consistent with style choices
  • White space is a good thing
  • Two fonts is more than enough
