Simple Infographic Design in Photoshop

Yesterday I stumbled on an infographic by Skype. I was immediately inspired and I’ve been wanting to do one myself for a while. An entire infographic would take too long for my daily challenge, so I decided to do a step a day until I have completed one.

I didn’t find any tutorials for today’s design; I just had an idea in my head and wanted to keep it super simple and flat.

I’m excited about the next steps and completing the infographic.

I know my first attempt might not be perfect and perhaps it should’ve been done in Illustrator, but I think I’ll learn a lot and be able to create better infographics in the future.
