@cxcsci @viputheshwar Thanks for having me!

@cxcsci @viputheshwar ie: you could overlay black text on the first pic but no color would work on the second

[Draw Science @drawscience]

@cxcsci @viputheshwar Font sizing & quantity is really important. I encourage people to use < 200 words in an infographic.

[Draw Science @drawscience]

@cxcsci @viputheshwar Avoid script fonts, Comic Sans, super high contrast backgrounds, and never put colored text on top of a picture.

[Draw Science @drawscience]

@cxcsci @viputheshwar Either use semi-transparent overlays behind the text or a drop shadow ie. https://t.co/YJGS7WnJhG

@cxcsci @viputheshwar Too many colors: often three different shades of 1 - 2 colors is more than enough.
