Powerpoint infographic templates11/29/2023 But since I plan to rewrite in PowerPoint, I’ll just leave the template defaults. 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.

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. |
