Infographic design in Kenya: Records and Planning Worksheets
Keep evidence that answers a real operating question
For infographic design, the record should connect the promised output, its cost and the buyer's acceptance. Begin with:
Keep approved data versions, calculation questions referred to the client, visual encoding decisions, reader interpretations, source references, review corrections, and final exports for each agreed publication placement.
An order and acceptance record
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Output and exclusions | Plan the infographic around one defensible message, using client-approved data, defined audience knowledge, source references, and a distribution format that determines how much detail viewers can read. |
| Sale unit | infographic |
| Acceptance check | Ask a reviewer unfamiliar with the data to explain the takeaway, then verify labels, units, comparisons, source attribution, and visual proportions against the approved underlying information carefully. |
| Missed-cost check | Include data clarification, fact checking within scope, visual development, source notes, accessibility choices, revisions, and alternate layouts rather than pricing solely by the number of decorative icons. |
| Failure to investigate | An infographic misleads when decorative scale exaggerates differences, omitted denominators change the meaning, or simplified categories imply a conclusion the source data cannot actually support for readers. |
Add the date, private customer reference, agreed price, advance, balance, promised handover and actual acceptance. Record a change before carrying it out. An unresolved complaint needs its own action and follow-up date rather than being overwritten by the next order.
A supplier and cost record
For each required input, record the specification, quantity, supplier identity, quote date, delivered cost, payment terms and reason for selection. Match the record to the receipt and inspect what arrived. Keep one-time setup, recurring inputs and refundable deposits in separate categories so that the same cash movement is not counted twice.
A weekly review
Compare accepted output with started output; reconcile money collected with outstanding balances; investigate rework and returns. Review whether measured capacity can meet the next commitment. A positive surplus estimate does not remove a shortage of cash caused by late collection.
Use sources within their stated scope
- Kenya Copyright Board — National Rights Registry — Official registry for copyright records; negotiate ownership and third-party licences separately. Reference recorded 2026-10-26.
- ODPC — Guidance Notes for Data Protection Policies (2026) — Privacy governance reference covering access, retention, data sharing and incident response. Reference recorded 2026-10-26.
These references route sector and activity questions. They do not independently establish local customer demand, supplier stock, a complete budget or business profitability. A reference date records the earlier check; it is not a claim that every linked requirement was reverified today.
The complete downloadable guide includes editable planning worksheets. Save backups privately when they contain personal, customer or supplier information. These planning forms do not replace required statutory records or professional advice for a regulated task.
Evidence register for this particular offer
- Complex Images — W3C WAI - Text equivalents for data-rich graphics; not a validation of the input data. Recorded 2026-10-26.
- Images Tutorial - Purpose-based text alternatives; does not validate marketing performance. Recorded 2026-10-26.
- Use margins, bleed, rulers, and crop marks - Print export settings; printer must supply its own production specifications. Recorded 2026-10-26.
These recorded references support only their stated scope. They do not establish current supplier stock, actual local demand, operator competence or complete commercial feasibility. Preserve source dates and record new checks separately.
Match the evidence to a decision
| Decision question | Business-specific record to retain |
|---|---|
| Was the input fit for use? | Check sum/denominator and preserve original data separately. |
| Was the work acceptable? | No bar, category or source qualification disappears in the cropped version. |
| What remains unresolved? | No real dataset supplied or infographic rendered. |
The operating pack provides an itemised quote tool, supplier request, sales draft, job card, quality response sheet, evidence gaps, operations desk and cashflow/launch-review workbook. Keep a separate private backup per actual job and per scenario. Test restoring it before closing the original. Exported files may contain customer or supplier information; do not publish completed private records as SEO content.
