Thanks to the many free and easy-to-use tools, making infographics is no longer an exclusive realm for elite techies. For infographics to be effective, it’s crucial for the text and images to work well together. We posted this article to help people create distinctive and powerful infographics and, judging by the click rate, many of you found it useful.
