"People love to learn by examining visual representations of data. That's been proven time and time again by the popularity of both infographics and Pinterest. So what if you could make your own infographics? What would you make it of? It's actually easier than you think… even if you have zero design skills whatsoever.

If you're a tech-savvy designer and illustrator, it can't hurt to check out some of the work on these two sites for inspiration."
