Things to consider:
Type of infographic:
You have resources showing a variety of infographic types. Be sure that you choose a style that suits the information as you want to show it.
Coherence:
The visuals and the information in your infographic should work together. Don’t just pick interesting shapes or colors for their own sake with no relation to what you are trying to convey.
Clarity:
One of the main appeals of the infographic format is quick readability. Can your viewer get the “gist” of your information at a glance? Does the design reward taking a more detailed look?
Mechanics:
Is the text free of errors and easily understandable?
Quality:
With the number of skilled minds working on your infographic, it should reach a certain level of quality.
