What makes a good infographic is that it must be well put together, catches the readers attention, and the information is entertaining and easy to follow. The infograpic can't have stray pictures floating everywhere, the fonts need to match, and there is no information that doesn't flow with the topic. If it doesn't catch the readers eye there wasn't a point in making it, the colors can't be dull and try not to have a lot of writing. Lastly, the information must be able to keep the readers attention now that they've started reading it, have fun facts and info that they wouldn't know about your topic.
I used easel.ly to create my infographic. The site was well put together but the major flaw was when you went to create your infographic, the menu bar seemed simple enough until you wanted to move or change something and had to worry about it being deleted or getting frustrated because the pictures won't move to where you want. Would use a different site if I had to do this again.
