Best Infographics Ideas and Free Tools
Look at pretty much every blog, professional site and presentation these days, and you will notice that most of them have infographics, which are charts that display a visual image in order to supply data to the user. They are highly functional and often work more effectively than graphs and charts alone. They are also more pleasing to the eye and can break down concepts for easier understanding. But for every good one, there is a bad one that looks cluttered and doesn’t manage to get the point across. That is why people seek out both inspiration and tools to help them make the most out of this valuable resource. Here are some of the best examples and tools to assist you in creating your own.

Oliver Weidlich of Mobile Experience came in and gave a great presentation on wireframing – a how-to and why. 7 reasons to use wireframes in mobile app design To create the skeleton of the applicationTo progress sketches to higher fidelityTo formally plan out the interaction between the screens in more detail and all the functionalityInvestigate different pathsTo use more accurate relative sizingTo use OS elementsCreate assets for usability testing While the benefits of wireframing are clear, the decision on what tool to use is a bit more complicated, depending on the systems and preferences of you and your client.
