Cute graphics made online
Everybody loves a sight to fascinating, cute graphics. From photography to last mile of web design or infographics.

Are We a handy designer with installed desktop application for our digital art, or there is a partial need to make articles Top Notch by adding some visualization? First or second, we may experience need of one of listed online tools. Enjoy.
What do You prefer to create graphics?
Diagrams done easy
Infographics
Yes, we can try to create infographics in classical vector/bitmap editor, but what if we do not want to waste time and focus on ideas? We may try some solutions exactly for infographics.
Piktochart
Solution offered in 3 packages, where the difference really makes difference. We can easily use a free version with just 4 basic themes and piktochart watermark and only 5 pictures to upload. Monthly version offers 80 themes with no watermark and more slots for pictures for price of 29$. If You do not earn more than 29$ per month from article writing, it may be little expensive in many countries including mine. But if we make infographics frequently and we are spending even more time on infographics creation, this tool can make us happy. The yearly "bargain hunters" for 199$ dollars is, at all, even more generous.

By Hand
I use pixlr.com for nearly everything i need. Advanced (but still free) looks as like as photoshop and it is pretty cool, but there are also express and playful solutions where is the joy to makeover photographs.
Pixlr is very good tool when You dont have or dont want to start heavyweight Photoshop and dont like an interface of Gimp, but You want to create advanced graphics like a poster, banner or eventually brochure for print or "hard-made" infographics.
