Customize an Infographic Template in Photoshop
Depending on the template you download, you'll need to use either Photoshop or Illustrator to edit the designs. Here we'll be using Photoshop. Start by adjusting the titles, numbers, and all your important information with the Type Tool (T).



Move on to customizing the colors. Use the Selection Tool (A) to select one of the shapes and adjust the Color Fill.



Lastly, switch up the layout and organization by selecting each Layer Group to move the elements around with the Move Tool (V).
