When making this infographic it was integral that I made sure that it was simple enough to understand, whilst being detailed enough to get the point across in an effective manner. I did this by ensuring that I used terms that were accessible and understandable, even for individuals who don't have a high level of digital literacy.

I chose the layout for my infographic whilst scrolling through various templates on Canva, I felt that this template suited the design choice I was going for, and also had plenty of compatible graphics to help get the point across. I added a gradient colour scheme to give it a youthful and fun feel, making it more engaging, particularly for a target audience of young people.

I believe my design choices made the Infographic more effective as I used relevant graphics for topics, i.e using the lock when talking about protecting information, this placement purely made it so readers had a relevant reference point for the information, the graphics also filled space in a way that made the infographic look a lot cleaner.

As someone who isn't much of a designer myself, I encountered quite a few challenges when designing this infographic. For one, I didn't have extensive experience using Canva, meaning that I had to do a lot of on the spot learning. I also had never really made an infographic even in high school, so I had to wrap my head around the concept a fair bit in the process of making it. In order to overcome these challenges I utilised youtube tutorials and used Canva's built in instructions tools to help me learn how to use the software more effectively.
