Infographics are a great way to create instructions, posters and even
step-by-step instructions. You can pay for subscriptions to many
sites that will help you to create infographic displays and many have
free options as well. I have listed some of these sites below:

For a specific project, I created accounts on Easelly, Infogram and Pikochart.
Though it was not specific to that project I had already had an account on Canva
and looked at this site as well. Overall I have a recommendation that 3 of the 4 sites
have some great FREE resources that can serve anyone needing or wanting to
create infographics. I will start with why I do not recommend Infogram.

Infogram did not have many free tools to create a visually appealing infographic and
would not let me download my creation in any format, without paying a fee. I was
only able to save the document as a link. The final result was an infographic that
was not very visually appealing and left me feeling like the project was not satisfactory.

Pikochart helped me to create a visually appealing infographic. I was able to
create it the way that I wanted it. However, when editing shapes, text boxes
and graphics I continually had to return to the undo button as you have to
click multiple times on an object to just select that one. It was also difficult
to select a layered object that they provided in order to move it around when
there were graphics behind it. It has many great graphics and options in the
free version and it can work well in many ways if it serves your purpose.

For this project my favorite result was from Easelly. I was able to create a very
visually appealing infographic that gave a final result of something I would happily
claim as my own work and consider it finished. There were a wide range of
FREE options through the site and I was easily able to download my final result,
which I have included.

Previous to this project my favorite site for creating flyers and announcements
was Canva. Now, however I have some up with 2 alternatives that can fit my needs,
depending on what kind of results I want. Easelly, Pikochart and Canva are my go
to sites for infographics, flyers and posters.

I also agree with you! I loved Easelly. Out of all the infographic web-apps, I was immediately drawn to it for it's colorful and visually appealing presentation. As an educator, I need infographics that will catch my student's attention from the get-go. For a more serious presentation for staff members, I would probably have chosen infogram.
ReplyDeleteYour Easelly looks so awesome. I found the site frustrating because I wanted a certain theme but the icons were hard to search for. I may have to give this program another try.
ReplyDeleteYour infographic is so colorful and informative. It sounds like Easelly is a great choice overall.
