Get Visual

When we talk about blogs we generally start with words, then add pictures, sound and sometimes video.  Generally we forget about visualizing data.

Those quirky little pictures keep cropping up letting us know “how many people are  using twitter” or how “internet use is transforming the world” can get annoying.  They can also be creative and cool.

Infographics are like old school pie charts and graphs that illustrate data visually.

Great!  Problem is I’m not a graphic artist or animator.  What can I do short of hiring a graphic designer?

Here are a few helpful ideas.  If you have any more suggestions, submit them in the comment sections or email them to me.  I’d love to add them.
