Overview/Description
Once you've learned how to set up a basic project in Infogram, there are several ways you can ensure the information in your infographic stands out. In this course, you'll work with Infogram's many advanced data visualization features. You'll start by using the bar race plot feature to animate bar charts that change over time. You'll then create candlestick charts to visualize variations in data over set periods and waterfall charts to convey the cumulative effect of positive and negative values. Next, you'll create dashboards to convey information using various visual elements, including a treemap, a series of line charts, a streamgraph, and a forecast line chart. Moving on, you'll use an infographic project type to convey several fun bits of information related to James Bond films. To do this, you'll use a Gantt chart, a line chart, and some animated components.

Overview/Description
Infogram, a cloud-based tool for creating easily comprehensible presentations and reports, is a useful tool for roles in all industries. In this course, you'll learn to use this tool from scratch, moving from installation to building a project. You'll start this course by setting up an Infogram account. You'll then spend some time cycling through the different types of projects in Infogram and catch a glimpse into the variety of built-in templates. Next, you'll create a basic Infogram project. After which, you'll examine different element types that can be added to projects, including text, icons, shapes, arrows, and background images. You'll move on to formatting data in an external tool before visualizing it in Infogram charts. Lastly, you'll briefly outline the use of Microsoft Excel and its pivot table feature for data preparation.
