Creating an infographic isn’t about fancy design elements. It’s about smart, simple layouts. Feel free to swipe any of these 16 templates for your next project.

But first, it’s important to know that every infographic should include 3 distinct areas with unique layouts:

• Header & Intro
• Main Argument
• Conclusion

.

Header & Introduction

Most people only read the headline of your content. Use this section to grab peoples’ attention and draw them in.

Main Argument

After you hook readers it’s time to deliver the goods. Here are 8 unique layouts you can use to present your content and data.

General

Standard text is boring. This is the best way to supercharge written content and keep your readers engaged.

• Keep copy short & concise
• Mix & match layouts

Step-By-Step

Show your readers how to do something or just list your ideas. Each step includes text and a visual.

• Clearly label each step
• Use to repurpose blog posts

Data-Driven

Visualizing data is key to quickly proving your point. That’s probably why this is one of the most popular layouts online.

• Use charts and graphs
• Use text to give context

Timeline

Give your readers an epic history lesson by highlighting a series of events in a specific order using a timeline.

• Tell a compelling story
• Use chronological order

Flowchart

Help people discover their own solution by answering “yes” or “no” to a series of questions and crossroads.

• Use 1 or multiple outcomes
• Make steps flow logically

Versus

Do a head-to-head comparison between two things to illustrate the positive and negative aspects of each.

• Keep things symmetrical
• Create division with colors

Story

People love stories that describe a relatable problem and then provides actionable solutions and proof.

• Show problem & solution
• Include a call-to-action

Roadmap

Use this layout when you need to illustrate a stream of information in sequence and arrive at a “destination.”

• Take readers on a journey
• Provide a specific outcome

Conclusion

Use this area to wrap up, cite your resources and encourage readers to take the next step by using a call-to-action.
