LEARN ABOUT TIMELINES
What is a Timeline?
A timeline is a visual presentation or display of a list of events in chronological order. It is essentially a graphic that depicts a linear (sometimes curve) bar composed of labels containing dates in parallel to it.
Timelines are useful to visualize any type of development by providing the viewer an easy-to-understand history of events and helping to grasp the past and ongoing trends in that period of time.

QUICK TIPS
Make the Most of the Timeline Maker
01
We have timeline templates for biographical information, company history, processes and more. Select a template that’s in line with your needs to make customization quick and easy.
02
Put together an outline of your content on a piece of paper or in an online document before you start on the design so that you know how many items your timeline infographic needs to include.
03
Add a bold header to the top of your timeline that lets your viewer know at a glance what kind of information they’ll be learning about in your content.
04
Use no more than 2-3 fonts and colors throughout the timeline design as to not overwhelm your viewer or create a cluttered infographic design.
05
Incorporate similar line and shape designs throughout your timeline to create a cohesive design.
06
Drag and drop icons, photos, graphics and more from the left sidebar to decorate your timeline.
