6 python libraries to make beautiful maps

At some point any Data Scientist faces the need to analyze or model geo spatial data, and it can’t be done without the crucial visual part. As I’m a huge map-lover, I’m glad to share with you these 6 great libraries for making informative and stylish maps. Some of the libraries I shared here are more suitable for static visualizations, others for interactive ones, so the range of problems they can tackle is wide.

1. Cartopy

Cartopy is a powerful well-known library perfect for plotting static maps with scalar or polygon data. It provides many built-in layers for land, water and administrative borders. It’s really easy-to-use and has an intuitive set of commands.

As an example, let’s try to visualize MODIS data.If you want to follow along, you can find the code here.

To install the package, you can use regular expression with pip:!pip install cartopy

Now let’s load the data:import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

lats = np.load('lats.npy') lons = np.load('lons.npy') data = np.load('data.npy')

After this we can plot the data right away:proj = ccrs.PlateCarree() #let's set the map's projection

fig, ax = plt.subplots(subplot_kw=dict(projection=proj), figsize=(10, 20))#now we need to create a figure with the pre-set projection and a size

ax.set_extent([-160, -105, 40 ,70], crs=ccrs.PlateCarree())#let's limit the coordinates to have only the region of MODIS product

plt.contourf(lons, lats, data, transform=ccrs.PlateCarree(), cmap = 'summer') #let's add a countor of the data using matplotlib '''Adding nice cartopy features''' ax.add_feature(cfeature.BORDERS, edgecolor='black', linewidth=1) ax.add_feature(cfeature.LAKES, alpha=0.5) ax.add_feature(cfeature.LAND) ax.add_feature(cfeature.COASTLINE, edgecolor='black', linewidth=1) ax.add_feature(cartopy.feature.RIVERS, edgecolor='blue', linewidth=0.5) states_provinces = cfeature.NaturalEarthFeature( category='cultural', name='admin_1_states_provinces', scale='10m', facecolor='none') ax.add_feature(states_provinces, edgecolor='black', zorder=10, linestyle = '-', linewidth=0.5)

ax.gridlines(draw_labels=True)#formating the grid

As you can judge from the result, cartopy provides a great abundance of ways to customize your map, as you can manually set colors, linewidth, density and other parameters of your layers. Additionally, the code itself is really intuitive and easy to understand.

Cartopy is one of the tools I regularly use in my work, and I hope that you’ll find it extremely helpful as well!

2. Folium

Now let’s add the world’s countries. To do that I’ll use the defualt geopandas dataframe:import geopandas as gpd df = gpd.read_file(gpd.datasets.get_path('naturalearth_lowres'))

map = folium.Map(zoom_start=4, tiles="Cartodb Positron") gdf_json = df.to_json()

3. Plotly

Plotly is another famous library known for its beautiful interactive charts. Among many features, it has several functions to plot maps, such as px.choropleth, px.choropleth_mapbox, px.scatter_mapbox, px.scatter_geo and some others. You can find more details here.

As a demonstration let’s plot the same geo pandas dataset, but this time visualizing gdp_md_est variable. It can be done very easily within the following lines:import plotly.express as px

4. ipyleaflet

The fourth library I want to show you is ipyleaflet.It’s another great JS-based library for interactive mapping. One of my favorite things about this package is the amount of tiles it has. So let’s start with the basic one:from ipyleaflet import Map

You can play around with other options, there are literally dozens of them!

Now let’s plot some real world data. One of the most impressive features of the library I found is Velocity visualization. For this purpose, we can use NCEP(WMC) forecast data, which has 1° resolution. The dataset is acquired for 2016–04–30 06:00 and was provided in the docs of the ipyleaflet library. To read it we will use xarray, which is perfect to read netCDF4 files.from ipyleaflet.velocity import Velocity import xarray as xr import os import requests

if not os.path.exists('wind-global.nc'): url = 'https://github.com/benbovy/xvelmap/raw/master/notebooks/wind-global.nc' r = requests.get(url) wind_data = r.content with open('wind-global.nc', 'wb') as f: f.write(wind_data)

m = Map(center=(45, 2), zoom=4, interpolation='nearest', basemap=basemaps.CartoDB.DarkMatter)

ds = xr.open_dataset('wind-global.nc')

wind = Velocity(data=ds, zonal_speed='u_wind', meridional_speed='v_wind', latitude_dimension='lat', longitude_dimension='lon', velocity_scale=0.01, max_velocity=20) m.add(wind)

As you can see the output is not simply an interactive map, it’s an animated one. So it definitely enhances data representativeness and makes your data speak!

5. geemap

Geemap is a package for interactive mapping integrated with Google Earth Engine. So obviously it’s really convenient when your’re working with python ee library, which is python GEE package.

As a demonstration, let’s collect land cover data from Dynamic World product for an island in the Northern Europe:import ee

radius = 1250 point=ee.Geometry.Point([19.9, 60.2]) roi = point.buffer(radius) #setting a circle around the point of interest

DW = ee.ImageCollection("GOOGLE/DYNAMICWORLD/V1")\ .filterDate(start = '2022-07-08', end='2022-08-30')\ .filterBounds(roi) #getting the data DW_list = DW.toList(DW.size()) #converting the data to GEE List

Now we can do the plotting:m = geemap.Map(center=[60.2, 19.9], zoom=14)

I’d say that geemap is a really great tool to work with GEE. It has tons of different function, which can solve a solid range of tasks. The main and only disadvantage is it’s not super user-friendly. You need to know ee library syntaxis and have a general understanding of how GEE works before using geemap.

6. ridgemap

This library is the last and truly my favorite one, since it allows to make truly unique plots, which are pieces of art.

Before plotting, let’s install two libs:!pip install ridge_map mplcyberpunk

Now let’s create a map:import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from ridge_map import FontManager, RidgeMap import ridge_map as rm import mplcyberpunk import matplotlib.font_manager as fm

plt.style.use("cyberpunk") plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = (16,9)

fm = FontManager('https://github.com/google/fonts/blob/main/ofl/arbutusslab/ArbutusSlab-Regular.ttf?raw=true')

r = RidgeMap(bbox=(-15, 32, 45,90), font=fm.prop) #creating a map

values =r.get_elevation_data(num_lines=200) #getting elevation data values = r.preprocess(values=values, #setting hypoparameters water_ntile=70, vertical_ratio=40, lake_flatness=3)

From my point of view, this is awesome! You can check out the library, find a plenty of other visualizations and post your own:)

Hopefully you’ll find these libraries helpful and worth including in your toolbox.

[mesalladelmon]

In 1992, French theorist Gilles Deleuze observed, “There is no need to fear or hope, but only to look for new weapons.” In the 21st century, the U.S. government, universities, and private institutions collaborate to “look for new weapons” by engineering technologies for American warfare. These technologies often focus on the human body as the site of military innovation. If the U.S. Military is primarily concerned with engineering “technologies of war,” is there an opportunity for engineers, such as ITP graduates, to engineer “technologies of peace”? What design and function would such embodied “technologies of peace” play and can they intervene in an increasingly militarized U.S. society where Google owns military robotic companies and Apple iPhones are used to detonate bombs throughout the Middle East?

Alt Docs: Inventing new formats for non-fiction storytelling

Taught by Ziv Schneider and Julia Irwin

How does the ability to capture and publish transmedia pieces lend itself to documentary storytelling and journalism? How are traditional genres enriched by the addition of new-media techniques, including 360 film, photogrammetry, depth sensing and spatialized audio? And how can the use of these techniques help to evolve the definition of nonfiction storytelling? This is a production class in which the projects will be content-driven. The subject and the story should drive the students’ choice in media formats used to present the material. The interplay between different mediums should add to the experience of the story. A successful final project will be a piece in which the story is better told through the incorporation of the mediums chosen over a traditional cinematic documentary or journalistic piece. The goal of the class is to investigate the merging and branching of documentary, journalism and games and to invent new formats. The class focuses on two main technical areas: 1. Capture techniques (including 360 video, photogrammetry and depth sensing) 2. Composition of material in a 3D environment (Unity 3D, adding interactivity, interface design, publishing platform considerations) The first two short assignments will cover different capture methods and documentary techniques. The final project will focus on creating one interactive documentary piece in a digital 3D environment composed with Unity. However, the digital element can be accompanied by other components (immersive installation, sculpture, performance, web experiment, public intervention, etc.).

Syllabus

Cabinets of Wonder

Taught by Nancy Hechinger

If you were inventing a museum today, what would it look like? Who would be there? What would its main purpose be? The first museums were called Cabinets of Wonder. Usually, a viewer with a guide, often the collector, would open doors and drawers to see what was inside--amazing things from different parts of the world, different times. They were windows on the world to places the visitors would probably never be able to go; to see things they would never otherwise be able to see. And now there’s television, movies, the internet and travel. Why do people go to museums now? Will they in the future?

Data Art

Taught by Jer Thorp

Fascinating and terrifying things are happening at the intersection of data and culture. Our lives are being constantly measured, and information about us is being surveilled, stolen, and commodified. Dialogue around this data revolution has been dominated by corporations, governments, and industry – but what about the arts? In this class, we’ll investigate the means by which artists can engage (and are engaging) in the collection, processing, and representation of data. Using a research-focused, prototype-based approach, we’ll build a series of collective and individual projects to interrogate the ‘new data reality’. Students will use Processing, along with a variety of open-source data tools (such as D3.js, Miso, OpenRefine, MapBox & CartoDB).

Detourning the Web

Taught by Sam Lavigne

"Detournement" is the practice of "hijacking" cultural or artistic materials and reusing them to produce new works that both counter and explicate the original intent or ideology of the source material. In this class students will learn how to scrape massive quantities of material from the internet using Python, and then use that material to make satirical, critical and political projects. The class will cover a variety of web scraping techniques, encouraging students to work with text, images and video.

Students will be expected to produce three projects using the Python programming language. Students will also be assigned readings that cover the history of artistic "hijackings" as well as the history of satire. Each week we will cover a different web scraping technique, with production assignments relating to text, image and video.

Digital Imaging: Reset

Taught by Eric Rosenthal

Digital cameras and printers are making photography more ubiquitous and more useful than ever. This course is a workshop that looks at changing the rules for capturing and printing digital imagery. By gaining a better understanding of the engineering fundamentals and limitations of digital photography, students can produce breathtaking images with all the benefits of digital media but with an image quality that rivals film. Students experiment using low cost, hands-on tips and tricks in software and hardware to capture high dynamic range, expanded color, night color, 3D, time lapse, and stop motion images using a digital camera and printer. While using mostly off-the-shelf tools, these experiments require students to dig down to see the nitty-gritty of today's and tomorrow's technologies for digitally sensing, encoding, compressing, transmitting and displaying images.

DIY-VR

Taught by Christopher Kairalla

The field of Virtual Reality is changing almost daily. New products and techniques now give us incredible control over the immersive VR experience, and the vocabulary for VR communication is now being written. Powerful game engines like Unity3D have lowered the bar for VR hobbyists and artists, and modern-day cell phones have all of the components necessary to render convincing VR in real-time. This class will focus on experimental and narrative VR projects. We will look at the history of visual storytelling and art, as well as critical analysis of media, as a starting point for conceiving our VR projects. We will continuously compare older mediums to VR in order to best understand what works well in a VR experience. We will also discuss the history of VR, and look at recent VR projects. The class will cover 3 broad conceptual themes, which will give focus to the projects. The themes are recontextualization, symbolism, and mythology. Some techniques that we will explore are 2D media in a 3D space, 3D world building, VR GUI, and external networked interfaces.

Future Interfaces

Taught by David Lobser, Kenneth Perlin

Traditional user interface elements, such as buttons, sliders and drop down menus, require computer users to conform to a regime of screen-based and device-driven affordances. In this class we will envision a future where the human mind and body are unshackled by such anachronisms, and language itself extends to include intuitive gestures that can interact directly with the world around us.

Using a custom library for gesture and virtual/augmented reality developed at Ken Perlin's lab, we will examine the roots of sign languages such as ASL, of Chinese logograms, and the ways in which children naturally develop their own languages. We will imagine a future where we will share an immersive, computer augmented reality which we can manipulate and use to communicate visual ideas with each other just as naturally as we use speech and gesture today.

Immersive Listening: Designing Sound for VR

Taught by TK Broderick

Until recently 3D sound was a novelty reserved for special uses and reaching a limited audience, no medium in popular culture has been as inherently dependent upon spatial audio as virtual reality. The widespread and standardized implementation of surround sound in film brought cinema to a new level of immersion, but is limited to theatrical exhibition and home theater systems. Today a considerable amount of content is consumed on mobile devices and laptops which excludes the cinematic experience of spatial sound. With the current rise of cinematic VR and the blurring line between gaming and experiential VR, spatial audio is no longer just an added bonus, but rather a necessity in designing immersive VR experiences. In this course we will explore the emerging field of 3D sound design and for both 360 video and game engine-built VR using a digital audio workstation, Unity, and 3D audio plugins.

Magic windows

Taught by Rui Pereira

Magic windows that allow us to peek into different realities without leaving our physical space, lenses that reveal hidden layers of objects or navigating new universes within the same room. More than ever, mobile/wearable devices are getting a human-scale understanding of space and motion allowing us to create more intimate interactions with our surrounding spaces, leveraging them as a canvas to experience other realities. We now have the potential to give life to inanimate objects, tell stories through space, customizing private views of public spaces and recognize places we’ve never been. We’ll question what it means and how can we blend reality exploring themes such as: augmented space and new paradigms in social interaction, public space and privacy; storytelling and navigating the physical space like turning pages in a book; tangible interfaces, mixed objects and animism; Magic windows, x-ray vision, time-machines and impossible universes; Far away so close: telepresence and remote collaboration. The course will survey the past, current and up and coming technologies and experiences in Mixed Reality including environmental augmented reality and interactive projection mapping, handheld devices and head mounted displays fostering a strong user experience perspective on the affordances and constraints of each. We’ll research and discuss the design principles and guidelines for creating mixed reality experiences focusing on the links between real and virtual objects, interaction space and asymmetries between physical and digital worlds, environmental semantics and multimodal and tangible interaction. Technologies explored will include and are not exclusive to Unity3D, Vuforia, Microsoft Hololens, Google Project Tango, volumetric video, SLAM, image and object recognition, depth sensing, projection mapping. Students should have previous working knowledge of Unity3D and feel comfortable with independently developing using this platform. Code samples will be provided for each technology/platform taught.  A working knowledge of Unity3D may be gained by going through the Unity 5 3D Essential Training Lynda Course prior to the course (log in to Lynda for free via https://www.nyu.edu/lynda). Students should feel free and are invited to use any other technologies they might find suitable to develop their ideas.      

Nothing: Creating Illusions

Taught by Andrew Lazarow

How do we make something from nothing, and nothing from something? The idea of nothing, and optical illusions have been linked since the western discovery of zero lead to the beginning of linear perspective. In this course we will explore an array of optical illusions, ranging from traditional approaches to new technologies. Structured as primarily a studio course, we will work directly with Pepper’s Ghost, disappearing acts, making solid objects appear transparent, invisibility, false sense of depth, and approaches to designing negative space.

Assignments will include:

• Readings and blog post responses. • Creating small-scale illusions with and without the aid of new technologies • Exercises in camera analysis and projection mapping • Calibrating camera values with projector values • Making user interactions invisible, and then transmittable • A Midterm: Creating a small scale prototype with controlled interactions • A Final: Designing a full scale prototype accounting for user interaction

Open Source Cinema

Taught by Dan O'Sullivan

Have you you ever seen a movie set take over several city blocks with trucks and trailers, tents and an an army of crew members? Even in movies that rely more on special effects than location shooting you can see thousands of names roll by in the credits. Who can afford to tell stories that way? How can you interact with stories made that way? Stories told with motion pictures are the strongest tool for change in our culture and need to be in the hands of more people. Tools like panoramic video might save the need to shoot on location by allowing directors to later change their shot angles. We will look at how depth cameras like the kinect can separate foreground elements like people and props from a scene so they can be rearranged or substituted. New scanning technology has made it easier creating 3D models instead of more immutable images and new abilities to realtime render those models is finding its way into small inexpensive devices. We will look at how story plots and sequences might be templated into reusable formulas for no experts to find dramatic arcs. Most importantly we will look at how these new elements are usefully addressable to be shared and compared in a way that pixels are not. You could find exactly how your story overlaps and intersects with other in a shared “space” of stories. Once filmmaking becomes a process of arranging shared elements within the frame instead of just sequencing clips, it could produce cultural advancements like what followed the analogous innovation of movable type in the printing press.  In the near term the aesthetic will likely be rough juxtapositions in the tradition of comics or storyboarding. The goal of this class is not to make the lives of professional film directors easier but rather empower the end user to be a director of a motion storyboard that may never be finished. While it is the mutability of “VR” tools that enable this class, the aim is towards democratizing conventional stories probably delivered on a conventional screen. This class will draw on ideas coming out of ITP’s “Consumer Light and Magic” research project so students will be expected to have a pioneering attitude. Student will have assignment to gather compose and distributes parts of a story. Examples will mostly be in javascript with Unity or Unreal being a viable alternative platforms.  This class used to be called "Prototyping Movies". This is a 2 credit course.

'He saw my profile on The Ultimate Love Machine, sent me a message, I sent him a message back, we went out for two weeks, we talked and texted for weeks after,' Dufault told HuffPost. 'He's not the kind of guy to walk up to a girl in a bar and start talking to her and doing all that. He knew I was having a hard time finding.And the attention span of teenagers is not what it used to be.I'm trying to stay interested in this guy.He has his 'game' down pretty well.The irony of the whole situation is that his profiles are all so down to earth.He really doesn't talk about a lot of things that women are into.He sounds a lot more like a guy I went to high school with.Then again, it's kinda creepy to be looking at someone who looks like a grade A creep.I really don't know what to do here.I have to admit

Directory Plus has been designed with page loading speed as a feature. All pages load fast and takes about 400ms to 800ms to load completely.

You can test Page Load Times on Pingdom: https://tools.pingdom.com/

Imprescindibles de diseño para infografías: más de 20 tips de expertos/as

¿Quieres crear o mejorar infografías? Seguramente ya te has sumergido en internet y has encontrado miles de recursos y post sobre el tema. Para facilitarte la búsqueda, le preguntamos no a uno, sino a tres expertxs en diseño y visualización de información cuáles son sus tips básicos y elementales (esos que no puedes pasar por alto) para crear infografías basadas en datos. Reunimos aquí tooodas sus recomendaciones :) Ah y ya que estábamos en confianza también les preguntamos por su herramienta favorita. Antes de empezar, agradecemos a Dennys, Alexandria y Sandra por compartirnos su sabiduría infografista 🙂 ¿Listxs? Empezamos con los tips y recomendaciones para crear infografías.

Dennys Mejía - Editor de Plaza Pública, Guatemala

Twitter: @murdijuy

Comunicador visual, ilustrador, infografista. Editor de Innovación de Plaza PúblicaGT 7 recomendaciones:

1. Menos es más.   Una cosa que frecuentemente recomiendo en las charlas y talleres que he dado sobre infografía es que menos cantidad de datos, menos filtros, menos “dropdown list” (listas desplegables) para que el usuario "juegue" es mejor. Lo que realmente se necesita al crear una infografía es llevar datos claros y puntuales y de calidad a los lectores.  En general si diseñas una infografía para explicar un tema muy técnico,  deberás hablar con lenguaje simple, es decir, eliminar tecnicismos y términos para expertos (a menos que tu intención sea que tu infografía vaya dirigida a expertos).  Deberás encontrar y seleccionar la información más relevante para no "perder" a quienes van a leer tu infografía.  Deberás tomar en cuenta la cantidad de data que pones a disposición para no crear confusión o que al final el usuario diga "ay que bonito, da dos toques a un filtro y luego nunca más vuelve porque le da pereza jugar con todo ese montón de datos. 2. Tomar en cuenta que narrativa usarás.   Mientras que el usuario experto prefiere que le dejes toda la data para combinarla, filtrarla, etc, (narrativa no lineal), a la gran mayoría de personas lo que les importa es que seas claro con lo que quieres contar, es decir, una narrativa lineal, lo que quieres decir que les gusta que les lleves de la mano por el inicio de tu tema, el desarrollo del mismo y finalmente les lleves a la conclusión. 3. Siempre empieza con papel y lápiz.   Si quieres hacer una buena infografía, ya sea para impresos o animada, siempre deberás empezar con un boceto.  No existe manera en el planeta en que no empieces a desarrollar un proyecto infográfico sin antes haber empezado a bocetar sobre papel.  Sin esto tu infografía probablemente cambie justo cuando piensas que ya casi la termines y con esto retrasarás todo el proyecto y terminarás frustrado. 4. Cuando ya estés casi por terminar tu infografía, ponla a prueba.   Pídele a personas que no sepan absolutamente nada del tema que vean tu proyecto o que interactúen con él.  Lo que esas personas hagan será muy valioso para entender los errores en UX (experiencia de usuario) que pudiste haber cometido, o bien, esquemas o gráficos que simplemente no comunican la información de manera correcta. 5. No puedes crear una infografía de algo que no comprendes.   Ni siquiera intentes empezar un proyecto infográfico de algo que eres incapaz de poder explicar.  Debes documentarte, leer, ver videos, escuchar a expertos antes de empezar el boceto.  Pregunta si tienes dudas. 6. No creas que si se mueve más y tiene muchas animaciones es mejor. La historia nos ha enseñado que las mejores infografías son las más simples, ejemplo, el mejor mapa infográfico de la historia que muestra la campaña fallida de Napoleón Bonaparte en Rusia. 7. Experimenta.   Por último creo que para innovar debes constantemente experimentar con nuevas formas para comunicar la información. Experimentar con juegos, con gifs, con gráficos simples tipo Pictoline, con interactivos, con video, etc, es deseable siempre y cuando apliques los pasos que anteriormente mencioné. Herramienta favorita. El papel y el lápiz.  Luego Illustrator, pero si quieres aplicaciones en la web una que puede ayudar para el análisis de datos es Tableau, aunque no es muy funcional para publicar con ella cualquier trabajo.  Existen otras muy simples para cosas puntuales, mapas: CartoDB, charts: Infogr.am, todas las que Knightlabs.

Alexandria Sevilla, editora en Tercera Vía, México

Twitter: @elicalamidad  Comunicóloga con estudios en Comunicación Intercultural e Ideas Políticas Latinoamericanas. Ha trabajado en medios públicos, privados y en derechos humanos.  5 recomendaciones: 1.Cuenta una historia.  La información es poder, pero un bonche de datos aislados no dicen nada. Ponle cara y nombre a las cifras, ¿por qué debería de importarle a alguien esa información? 2. Sé breve. Más letras, menos atención. Posiblemente tengas un texto de 10 mil palabras igual de importantes, pero la brevedad es prioridad. En un mundo ideal una infografía es una invitación a tu audiencia a saber más sobre el tema. En el peor de los casos se quedará con los conceptos más básicos, pero se quedará con algo.

3. Confía en tu diseñadorx.  Si ya tienes un guión y haces equipo con alguna ilustradora o diseñador, platícalo con él o ella. Saben lo que hacen. Quizá pueda sustituir un párrafo entero con una ilustración o reacomodar el orden del texto para que visualmente sea más atractivo.  No te cases con una idea, tal vez el producto final será muy diferente de lo que tenías en mente, pero —en la mayoría de los casos— no te arrepentirás. 4. No tengas miedo y toma postura.  Aunque los datos y fuentes formales respaldan las infografías, siempre habrá alguna información que se va a tener que quede fuera. La brevedad es clave. Privilegiar una información sobre otra ¡es tomar postura!. ¿Qué versión quieres contar? Si el tema es muy controversial no está de más contar las dos partes de la historia. 5. Experimenta. Que algo se haya hecho de la misma manera durante años, no significa que se tenga que seguir haciendo igual.

Las animaciones y las ilustraciones son herramientas y formatos poco explorados, pero maravillosos para el periodismo y la difusión de información en general. ¡No hay reglas! Los formatos son flexibles y puedes ajustarlos a lo que sea que necesites. Herramienta favorita: Suite de Adobe (CC): Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Fireworks, Adobe Flash, Premiere y After Effects. *Un dato interesante: “En el equipo no nos conocemos en persona y todxs trabajamos de manera remota.  Nuestro principal canal de comunicación es Telegram y en menor medida slack” 

Sandra Ordoñez - Diseñadora de SocialTIC, México

Diseñadora gráfica y embellecedora de temáticas incomprensibles. Promotora de derechos humanos. 9 recomendaciones y paso cero:

Primero que nada asegúrate que una infografía es lo que en verdad necesita el proyecto para cumplir los objetivos y llegar a la audiencia que se desea. Es decir, cuestiónate si el tema tiene mucha información y necesita una estructura clara y atractiva para tu audiencia. Si sí, continúa:

1. Define bien el tema e investiga a profundidad (revisa bien tus fuentes). 2. Procesa tu información (quita lo que no es necesario). 3. Boceta tu información (haz un diagrama claro de la información). 4. No pierdas de vista lo que a tu audiencia le funciona y los objetivos que quieres lograr. 5. Elige el formato (web o impresión) y el estilo (jovial, serio, divertido, etc.). 6. Con el boceto que tienes haz otro pero como si contarás una historia (principio, nudo y final). Tiene que haber un gancho (algo visual que resalte en la infografía como tipografía, ilustración, diagrama, etc.). 7. Para que tengas mayor claridad revisa los principios básicos del diseño… y la ortografía. 8. Elige un título apropiado, breve y memorable. 8. Pruébala con otras personas y haz modificaciones. 9. Al hacerlas pruébala otra vez y si ya es comprensible, difúndela. Herramienta favorita: piktochart
