VISUALISATION & DESIGN There are tools to assist users in creating great graphic designs for PR or educational materials, such as logos, flyers, brochures, posters and billboards and social media graphics. When produc- ing analyses, presentations, project evaluations or educational materials, infographics are a great way to visualise even complex information and hence help readers to understand it fully. However, visualising information is time-consuming and requires the right tools. Some digital tools, such as Piktochart, help even less knowledgeable users to create infographics.
