Infographics are a popular way of representing information in a visual way. Mashable.com regularly posts infographics on a wide variety of topics, and there is advice on creating infographics in this article on makeuseof, which also lists some useful tools. This infographic was created using Pages and Inkscape on a Mac, although they can be created with any graphics packages. Some services can create infographics for you – like this twitter infographic tool from visual.ly – why not try it?

 

For today’s clue we’ve done something a little bit different – we’ve created a wordsearch! There are 30 words all taken from the lyrics of today’s song, each of which are hidden in the wordsearch. See if you can find them all – visit the wordsearch on Flickr to add your answers and let’s see how quickly all 30 can be found.

Give Attention to the Melodious Celestial Beings

We used Brian Herzog’s Excel template to create this wordsearch – see more information on his library themed wordsearches on the original blog post. Why not have a go at creating your own and adding it to Flickr for us to try to solve?

Today’s clue was made using stripcreator

We used Logotype Maker to make this quick logo/clue, it took only a couple of minutes and very straightforward to use.

I couldn’t resist making one for festive24things

Che ora gli angeli cantano

We used Google Translate for this clue. Once you have translated a phrase, use the ‘speaker’ icon to hear it spoken aloud.

This movie was created using Xtranormal, there is a limited amount you can create for free all you need to do is choose a background, actors and some text. I was also able choose different view points, facial expressions and hand gestures.
