1. Story: Just as with any story you write, an infographic should contain a title, a beginning, middle and conclusion.
2. Style:
   1. Visual appeal--catch the reader's eye
   2. Manageability--overview of message, don't be too detailed
   3. Hierarchy--use headings, color, text and images to showcase important information
3. Simplicity: Decide upon one style for your images, graphics, and photos and stick to it!
4. Size: Use fonts and images that are easy to read and interpret, don't go microscopic!
5. Statistics: Use research, articles, and statistics to support your information.  Make sure they are current, reliable and on topic.
6. Sources: Use quotes and give credit to your sources to establish credibility.
7. Shareability: Provide readers with tools they need to follow up for more info, organization names, URLs, etc.
