The Infographic Design Cheat Sheet: 5 Layouts That'll Make Your Life Easier [Free Templates]

Infographics have become one of the most powerful tools in a marketer's arsenal.

Content marketers often find themselves wanting to explain complex topics to their audience in a way that's easy to understand. Not only do infographics help break these topics into digestible chunks of information, but they do just that in a content format that people actually like reading.

The best infographics are designed with a specific goal, whether it's to tell an engaging story, present a data-driven argument, or compare different things. Depending on that goal, there are five basic layouts to choose from: the general infographic layout, the side-by-side comparison layout, the data-driven infographic layout, and the flowchart.
