Infographics are visualizations of data that can help audiences quickly grasp complex sets of ideas. The key to a good infographic design is to find interesting and reliable data, then come up with an awesome blueprint and visual story to deliver the underlying message. Infographics have become an extremely popular form of content marketing that can reward a site with quality backlinks and tons of new traffic, but what separates the really good infographics from the rest?

Want to create infographics? It's actually easier than you think… even if you have zero design skills whatsoever. Below are my two favorite infographic-making web 2.0 tools that I highly recommend. They both have pros and cons but in general are great for any beginner or novice designer. If Photoshop is a 4-letter word to you, then these sites are your friend. 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. (visual.ly, dipity, easel.ly, infogr.am and more)
