Lucidchart is an easy tool to use to create flowcharts, mindmaps, and graphic organizers. Lucidchart offers a simple drag and drop interface for creating flow charts, organizational charts, mind maps, and other types of diagrams. To create with Lucidchart just select elements from the menus and drag them to the canvas. You can re-size any element and type text within elements on your chart. Arrows and connecting lines can be re-sized, repositioned, and labeled to bring clarity to your diagrams.

A Guide to Infographic Elements

A Guide to Infographic Elements | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it
From blog.visual.ly - April 26, 2013 3:58 PM

When it comes to visualizing data, it’s important to pick the right graph and the right kind of data range. Make it too detailed, and information gets lost and the reader leaves confused. Too simplified, and your data’s integrity is weakened.

 

Choosing the right infographic element shouldn’t be an art but common sense. After all, it’s an infographic – readers should get the gist of things at first glance and not have to get crossed-eyed in making sense of things...

Vintage Data Visualization: 35 examples from before the Digital Era | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it
From inspiredm.com - July 12, 2013 11:28 PM

Graphics, charts, diagrams and visual data representations have been published on books, newspapers and magazines since they've existed, not to mention old maps and scientific illustrations...

 

Despite the lack of tools such as the ones we have at our disposal nowadays, they are as inspiring and important as the best contemporary visualizations. Visit the article link for a gallery of vintage visualizations...

The Best App To Create Professionally Looking Charts and Graphs: Infogr.am

The Best App To Create Professionally Looking Charts and Graphs: Infogr.am | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it
From infogr.am - February 21, 2012 12:01 AM

Registration required, free to use. -JL

 

Robin Good: This has got to be a dream come true.

 

Create professionally-looking interactive graph charts (and soon also full infographics) with the best tool and easiest interface available out there.

 

Infogr.am makes it as easy as it can possibly be the creation of charts that will always look great and effective no matter what your design skill level is.

 

You simply choose the type of graph you want (bar, line, pie, matrix) to create, edit the existing data with your own, and you are ready to go.

 

Each chart is designed following some basic information design principles, allowing data to be easily read and for the chart to look very credible and "professional".


Also: each chart created with Infogram can be easily embedded on any web site, and customized in size and colors used.

 

Infogram integrates an online library where to save your completed work, and an upcoming online store.

Try it out now: http://infogr.am/app/  

 

Awesome. 10/10
