Here is my latest experiment! I made an infographic using http://www.canva.com. Canva has a great selection of templates, and I chose an infographic template to work with. You can also make posters, cards, presentations, and posts for social media. Did you ever wonder where all of those images with quotations on Facebook came from? Canva is definitely one source. Now you can make your own!
I like the tools that Canva offers, but it has its' limitations, or perhaps I have my limitations. I could only find a limited number of text sizes to choose from, and did not see a way to use italics. Additionally, there are a ton of wonderful images to choose from, but the majority of them that you would actually want to use cost $1.00 each. I was able to find a few free images through Canva for use in this infographic, but my choices were severely limited. It is possible to upload your own images, as well.
Canva is another great tool from the sandbox!
I like that you used the design element of full-bleed with your images. I am going to try and utilize this technique much more in items that I create. The beach chair photo is so more effective the way that you have cropped it then if you would have tried to fit the whole image into the space.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tonya. I like the full-blown of the pictures in each block. The thin boarder around each to help define the photo.

ReplyDeleteYes, the way you created this allowed the viewer to focus on the pictures. This turned out well; however, I don't like to think about the shortness of summer, ugh!
Love the images! I also loved how you put the text diagnoally. Definitely adds an effect and looks more fun than if you would've simply put the words horizontally.
