These are great resources Dana. You show how Infographic creation can be done on a budget.

Pivot table charts are an easy way to create embedding graphs as well.

Hi Danika
I would love to add infograhics to my posts in order to really make my point stick. I don’t have a clue how to do that and haven’t even tried yet but I will check out the links in your post so I can at least begin.

Hi Keith,

I haven’t encountered a paid or watermarked image for OpenClipArt.org. For example, I can access the Simple Houses png file for free from http://openclipart.org/detail/167676/simple-houses-by-viscious-speed without a watermark.

How are you downloading the images at Vector4Free? On the vector page, click on “free download,” and you should download a zip file containing the vector pack. Let me know if it doesn’t work.

I must be doing something incorrect. When I go to OpenClipArt.org or Vector4Free and select images I am directed to a second page where to download an image without a water mark I have to pay money. There must be free ones in a different location or something.

This is great info, Danika. I’ve wondered what skills and resources are required to create these great infographics and envisioned dozens of hours of graphics artists and analysts churning out the final product. Nothing I could do or afford. Now I have hope. Thanks!

Good call, Ryan. The Quora community is a great resource to tap into for any research-based project. I’d also recommend looking for opportunities to use your finished data visualization to help other Quora community members.

Try Quora.com for data sourcing. Usually find excellent data rich research there. Plus, works as a great help in data mining for topics to visualize.
