My Profile created with Piktochart :
Why Piktochart?
Ease of use (for me it took less than 30 min )
Wide variety of themes
Rich toolbox
Theme customization
Easy sharing
1) Ease of
use :
The key here is taking the easy
route – editing an existing layout/theme.
If
you choose this route, you can go ahead and choose a theme for your
infographic. If you’re a basic user, you’ll only have five themes or so to
choose from. Pro users get over a hundred themes, but more on that later.
2) Wide variety of themes :
There are various inbuilt themes related to various
ideas like entertainment, science, art, people, countries, flow diagrams and so
many other. In paid version in all there are more than 200 inbuilt themes .
3) Rich toolbox :
After choosing the theme, you can also choose a
different color scheme from the side panel. Then, all you have to do is edit
the existing content in order to create your own unique infographic. Click the
shape/object you wish to edit (or double click to edit text), then use the
properties toolbar up above to edit the object. You can rotate objects, alter
the layer/opacity, resize, move, change the color and edit the text attributes
from this property bar, allowing you to customize the existing theme for your
own purposes.
4) Theme customization
If you don’t like inbuilt theme
then you can design your theme right from scratch. First clear the blank canvas
after this you can start inserting the
elements of your infographic. There are three object types to insert – shapes,
graphics and theme graphics. The shapes include everything from basic shapes
like squares and circles to complex shapes like thumbs up symbols and utensil
symbols. The graphics section includes images like maps and popular website
icons. The theme graphics section contains images specific to the theme you’ve
chosen, contributing to a cohesive overall look.
To
add an element, simply drag and drop it onto your canvas. This method also
works to add text – simply select the text section, choose which section of the
infographic your text is for (e.g. header or footer), then drag and drop a text
box. Click on any added objects to edit them using the properties toolbar, as
described in the previous section. You can also add charts and graphs from CSV
files.
5) Easy sharing
We can save the theme in JPG and HTML file format.
Also we can post the infographics on our social networking sites like facebook
and Twitter.
Problems with Piktochart :
Though it has number of inbuilt themes available
only few are allowed for free users.
