Descrición

Infographics are a way of representing information visually, in which the combination of images, diagrams, and text summarise or figuratively explain ideas and concepts.
During the course, we will use Inkscape, an open-source multiplatform application released under the GNU GPL license. This application is freely available for download at the following URL: https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.1.2/.

In the course, you will find notes, videos and exercises to learn and start mastering infographics.

  2. Handling the Inkscape outline.
  3. Locate and obtain images ethically and legally to complement graphic compositions.
