An infographic is a cool way to impart knowledge, especially if you’re dealing with a lot of boring facts, huge numbers, and incomprehensible data.  They’re colorful and fun that’s why there’s a lot of them floating around the web from infographics about Batman, obesity, geeks, marriage, dating, and yes, even about infographics.

But aren’t those hard to make?  And you need to be really creative and good with designs to be able to make one, right?  Piktochart says no.
