media audience, which is why infographics are great for storytelling.
If the story you want to tell involves multiple events or changes over
time, then you should use a timeline. From a reader’s perspective, these
infographics are easy to understand because they follow a single flow.

KUCHA?
· Pecha Kucha challenges the presenter to better engage the
audience. That’s of particular importance when working with
school children. Using a visual-oriented approach, a slide
show is created using just 20 slides. Each slide has one
primary image and is only shown for 20 seconds, during which
the presenter speaks.
