Resources for creating infographics

[MarieHaynes]

I have a great idea for an infographic.  Does anyone have any resources for tools or tips on creating an infographic?

I have some design skills, but I'm not a pro.  I'm not against paying someone to create it...but my budget is small.

How do you guys create your infographics?

I'm interested n seeing your infographic. Can you post a link to it or send it to me?

I ended up creating my infographic in GIMP.  It turned out great!  It's already getting a good amount of tweets, likes and mentions in forums...hopefully some good links follow!

Oooh...look what I found...a flickr discussion group all about infographics!

Blueglass has had a lot of posts about building infographics. You might start with http://www.blueglass.com/blog/what-makes-a-good-infographic/ then do a search on their site for infographics to find their other posts.

That looks really great!  But it looks like it's still in development?  I can't see anywhere on the site where I can actually create my own infographic.

Hey Journeyman, try using Visual.ly I've heard great things about them.

I have a client that has used several consultants and companies listed on O Desk with good results.  Proper screening and reference checks are important of course.

There is a new web site dedicated just to info graphics recently launched, but I don't have the url at the tip of my fingers... anyone?
