I’m using a fairly large font size (18pt) for a print piece because, again, I do want it to be readable on a screen. Use the subheading to setup your infographic for your reader. Adding a Subtitle.Ī sub heading is a great way to keep you from writing too much in your main heading. So I’ll use a pretty large font size (64 pt). Even though I am designing this infographic for print, I still think it will likely be reviewed via a screen most of the time. For this we will use the Text menu and Add a heading. I usually place my line in the middle of the page. Add in your timeline.įor my line I’ll simply search for “Lines”.Ĭhoose the line style first, then you’ll be able to change the line weight, color, and end points.


Later on, after I put in content, I’ll delete the grids. These are technically photo grids, but I’m just going to keep them in the back and use them as measuring tools. In Canva I’ll create that grid by clicking on Elements and searching for “Grids”. I like having a basic grid when I start designing. You can easily fold it in half and put the infographic into a folder. This tabloid format is kind of cool because it’s like having two letter size pages side by side.
INFOGRAPHIC TIMELINE TITLES PROFESSIONAL
Most professional office printers can easily print up to 11 inches by 17 inches (or A3 if you are going with international sizes). If you plan to print your infographic, I would suggest creating with a standard paper size. That’s a fine size if you are only sharing on the web and want a portrait style infographic. Choose your base size.Ĭanva’s infographic templates are all based on a size of 800 by 2000 px. So if you wanted a busier timeline with more blocks, there is certainly room if you drop the text size a bit. The text blocks are fairly large (at 18pt font). This is just a simple timeline, nothing too fancy with only so many text blocks. Here is what I will design – “Our Project Timeline” I’ll also include the final templates at the end of this post. Looking for an infographic that is easy to write and design? This post will you through the process of creating a timeline infographic from scratch using Canva.
