Five Popular Infographic Templates (And Why They Work so Well)

Five Popular Infographic Templates (And Why They Work so Well) | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Infographics, an effective form of content marketing, are everywhere on the Web, but it isn't always easy to come up with good designs when you want to create one yourself, especially if you're not skilled in design and visual content.


Fortunately, you have plenty of options. Many blogs and other publications offer tips and tricks to help improve your visual content, and sites like online infographic maker Visme (which I founded) and applications such as PowerPoint offer templates to help you get started.


Templates help you get a general feel about what works for an infographic and what doesn't, which can then allow you to branch out with your own designs. Often, though, in the business world, a lot of templates are simply tweaked to create an infographic; the basic template remains intact. After all, if it isn't broke, why fix it?


So here are five of the most popular templates, the reasons they work so well, and a few tips and tricks to help you make them your own....

15 Customizable Infographic Templates for PowerPoint [Free Download] | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

In terms of visually displaying information, infographics serve as an ideal way to convey a complex idea in an interesting and manageable format. Whether it's a comprehensive side-by-side comparison, a lengthy timeline, or robust collection of numbers and statistics, a well-designed infographic can help you make your point without fussing over a ton of words.

5 Great Online Tools for Creating Infographics | Cool Infographics

5 Great Online Tools for Creating Infographics | Cool Infographics | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
Creating infographics using online tools has never been easier. In the last few years a number of online tools have emerged that allow anyone to create great visual content.  Whether you are working on a project for work, personal use, or social media, each new project starts with a template. With the dimensions laid out for you, you can focus your attention on quickly creating effective designs. Search, drag, and publish - it can be that simple.

These new tools are vector graphics applications that run in your browser as a replacement for using an expensive professional desktop application like Adobe Illustrator to put your infographic design together.  Each one offers different tools, image libraries, charts, fonts and templates as a starting point.  None of these have the full capabilities of a professional desktop application, but you probably don’t need that much power to create a simple infographic.

In this article, we take a quick look at 5 of the best online tools for creating infographics: Visme, Canva, Easel.ly, Piktochart, and Infogr.am. All of these tools are evolving quickly, and this is just a snapshot of their current capabilities.

8 Helpful Resources for Creating Beautiful Infographics | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Visuals have a huge impact in marketing. Not only do they make content more sharable -- 40 times as much -- but they help us retain information.  

When details are paired with an image, we remember 55% more of it.

 

That can be pulled off with infographics -- the nifty images that visually break down complex statistics. They're customizable, sharable, and they're easier to create than you might think.

 

Sure, you could hire a professional to create the infographics for you. But if you're restricted by budgets or time, there are some great DIY resources out there for making compelling visuals. 

 

We scouted the web for some of them -- check them out below. (And for more on how to create an infographic, check out these tips.)...
