*KNN is proud to partner with idealware to bring this webinar series to our members.
Infographics with attractive images and compelling data can reach a big audience. They give your data the power to rally support, inspire action, and drive impact. Tap into your data’s potential to create change with Visual Storytelling: The Complete Infographic Toolkit for Nonprofits.
Over four Wednesdays starting June 8, Idealware will help you see what kinds of data are best translated into infographics and find the stories hidden in the numbers. We’ll also walk you through the practical steps of creating and using your infographic and look at examples of how other organizations created successful infographics. And best of all, we’ll help you develop your own infographic that you can begin using right away.
Throughout the course, you will:
- Identify what you hope to accomplish with an infographic and the ways you want to use it.
- Learn techniques for finding useful data—both public and within your own organization.
- Learn how to translate your data into a compelling story.
- Review tools that can help you create your infographic.
- Consider visual techniques and strategies to display your information.
- Walk through the practical considerations from concept to completion.
- Explore the communications opportunities an infographic creates.
- Walk away with a simple infographic you can use to help your organization start a conversation or promote a cause.

June 29: What it Takes to Complete the Job
There are a lot of practical steps to completing an infographic. Beyond gathering information and developing a story, you also need a graphic designer who understands your concept and has the talent to both translate it into imagery and graphics and make it visually appealing. And once you create your infographic, you need a strategy for how to distribute and promote it. We’ll review some of the logistical aspects of creating an infographic to help you get started with a solid footing.
