Hello there! I’m Miranda Rensch, Product Manager at SEOmoz and lover of visual communication. Communicating visually is one of the most effective ways to explain complex concepts and relationships, and can be a great way to explain your services/products and create valuable site content. I often use diagrams and whiteboarding in order to communicate new features and concepts internally with my team.
I’ve compiled a list of tools you can use to create visualizations, or simply use to communicate visually with your teammates. Enjoy, and feel free to add your own suggestions in the comments!
Tools for creating simple infographics and data visualizations
1. Piktochart
Piktochart is a web-based tool that has six decent free themes (and a whole bunch more for the paid version) for creating simple visualizations. You can drag and drop different shapes and images, and there is quite a bit of customization available. You can also add simple line, bar, and pie charts using data from CSV (or manual entry). You can export to PNG and JPG in either print or web quality. Note that with the free version, you get a small Piktochart watermark on the bottom of the PNG / JPG downloads.

Indeed Miranda’s post on infographics and visualization tools is enlightening.
At least many web users have idea of the tool options they can choose from. More importantly, the ideas on “planning your infographics” are readily invaluable.
I am very sure that most individuals and companies will use the idea in this article to step up how they communicate with clients and customers. A good post !
