Using Piktochart
Before class I emailed out a .pdf introduction to Piktochart. While that .pdf was written for an earlier version of Piktochart, it should serve as an overview to the standard options and features the application offers.
To get started, create an account with Piktochart.
Then, make a new blank document.
Your task today is to make a 5 block infographic that illustrates why dogs are better than cats. Or, I suppose, why cats are better than dogs. Your infographic should:
- Again, it should have 5 blocks [two more than the default]
- It should have two different backgrounds
- It should have three different font sizes
- Include one video
- Include one pie chart
- Include one line graph
- One gradient hierarchy
- Include three graphic images
- At least one line
The .pdf tutorial will address a few of the requirements above. Information about the others can be found on Piktochart’s support page.
Note that you are welcome to do the tutorial in teams of two. Upload your infographic to Canvas when you are done. We will look at the infographics at the end of class.
