If I were designing solely in Canva, I would enter in all my text and icon illustrate. You can also get rid of anything you don’t want to be a part of the base template. Once you choose a template, you can start adapting the template to meet your brand colors/fonts. You’ll be given a whole bunch of options to choose from. Whatever size you choose to start with, search “infographic” using the Templates menu. Added benefit, if you fold it in half the dimensions are 8.5 by 11 (the perfect size to fit into a standard folder with other handouts). organizations have printers that can print 11 x 17. If you are designing something for both print and web, I suggest going with something you can print using your office printer. I’ll still be able to search through all the Canva templates later. So I prefer to start with the size of infographic I want. But if you start with an “infographic” template in Canva it starts you with a long thin canvas. The workflow is smoother in Canva, the templates are easier to search, and shape elements are easier to add. Here is how I would go about creating an infographic template in canva to use in PowerPoint.īefore you comment, yes, you can create infographics directly in PowerPoint from scratch.īut I just find it easier to work off of Canva templates, even if my ultimate destination will be PowerPoint. Luckily with Canva I can get the best of both worlds. Or we stick with what they know and create in Office. I can try to teach that team a new tool while we collaborate (not always as easy as it sounds). And while that’s fine when working independent, so much of my design work is built around collaboration with a broader team. But I just find some other tools are just easier to use for certain tasks (such as creating infographics). I have nothing against Word, PowerPoint, or Excel.

In the research and evaluation worlds where I tend to do most of my work, Microsoft Office reigns supreme.
