Looking for Excellent Infographic Designers

[Point_It]

I'm looking for recommendations for excellent infographic designers. They can be located anywhere, charge hourly or project based...as long as they are fluent in writing English, can show some examples of past work, and charge a reasonable rate, that's all we need.

I've looked at Elance and Odesk and Craig's List, but what I really want is a recommendation from someone who has actually used the designer they're recommending and had a great experience.

A designer who can do the research and ideation in addition to the actual design would be ideal.

If you want a professionally designed infographic, I would recommend browsing the designers at visual.ly. It won't be as cheap as o-desk, but you'll get your moneys worth.

Thanks! I've looked at Visual.ly for examples, but I hadn't thought to look there designers Can't wait for them to open up that tool...

Can you define "a reasonable rate"?

[Point_It]

That really depends on their location, skill and speed, and whether they do design only or also research and ideation. I'll pay more per hour for a faster and more skilled designer. I guess just tell me a rate, show me some samples, tell me the total time spent on each sample if you can, and I'll see if it sounds reasonable I don't really have a fixed price in mind, just feeling it out.

Did you find any there? What did you do to find designers at their website?
