Resources for creating infographics

[MarieHaynes]

I have a great idea for an infographic.  Does anyone have any resources for tools or tips on creating an infographic?

I have some design skills, but I'm not a pro.  I'm not against paying someone to create it...but my budget is small.

How do you guys create your infographics?

I have a client that has used several consultants and companies listed on O Desk with good results.  Proper screening and reference checks are important of course.

There is a new web site dedicated just to info graphics recently launched, but I don't have the url at the tip of my fingers... anyone?

I ended up creating my infographic in GIMP.  It turned out great!  It's already getting a good amount of tweets, likes and mentions in forums...hopefully some good links follow!
