How to Create an Infographic

[marknorman]

Kindly let me know how to create inforgraphic I am non designer. Any Best tool or template to buy to create infographic?

Honestly, i would just hire someone. There are a lot of great designers that could make it for you as long as you provide the outline. Sometimes, you'll get someone as low as $80 for one and it looks great. I would focus on the content of the graphic and pour my suggestions over to a designer.

If you really want to, then Adobe illustrator does the best output for me. It has templates scattered around the internet as well.

There are few sites that lets you create info-graphics

• Visually
• Creately

Also if you want to create info-graphics based on already existing data I highly recommend Google public data explorer. You can do some really cool graphs and animations there.

Lots of great options as the other two have suggested, I'll just through two more out there:

• Infogr.am is a very popular, free tool for creating infographics
• Google's Databoard creates infographics using Google's research study data (although you can't download or embed the infographic unfortunately)

To throw another possibility out there, Mark: As a MOZ Pro member, you can take advantage of a MOZ Perk for PiktoChart, which is one of the top online infographic design sites. (You get 60 days of PiktoChart Pro for $1.)

I have to agree with Dennis though - you might very well be better off hiring an experienced designer to create one for you. As with so many digital technologies, just having access to the tools is not automatically going to produce a worthwhile product. Good infographics take considerable design skill. It's just like photography - just because you have a copy of Photoshop doesn't mean you will be able to create beautiful photographs.

If you do decide to create it yourself, be prepared to invest a considerable amount of time in the project.

Good luck!
