2. Organize your information logically. Start with the problem (exam anxiety) and follow with solutions (tips).

Design Your Infographics

• Use warm, calming colors like blue, pastel pink, or light green to create a soothing effect.
• Include relevant icons/images for each section, like:
  • A person sweating nervously for the “Symptoms” section.
  • A calendar for “Set a Study Schedule.”
  • A yoga pose or meditation icon for relaxation tips.
• Use clear and readable fonts (e.g., Arial, Tahoma).
• Break sections into clear boxes or panels to separate content visually.
• Avoid making the design cluttered—keep extra space between sections.

Add Important Details

• Use numbers or bullet points for tips (helps make the content easy to scan).
• Optional: Add a small chart or data (like a percentage of students experiencing exam anxiety).
• Reference any important source if using specific data/statistics.

Call to Action

  • “Remember, preparation is the key to confidence. You’ve got this!”
• Add a reminder: “Reach out to teachers or counselors for more support if needed.”

Final Review & Improvements
