My inspiration for my infographic design

There isn't one person who has inspired me towards making an infographic but many artists that have put their work out there.  The following is a link to the site I like the best for really cool infographics:

Infographic

For the last project I decided to do either one infographic or several depending on how long it takes to make each one.  I like the idea of an infographic showing the importance of music and art in the public school systems.  These programs are not only having their funding cut but in some places art and music are being done away with all together.  
I found several really promising sites for information and statistics showing the need for the fine arts as well as some cool sites on how to make an infographic.
The first two sites deal with how to make an infographic and the last two are for the fine arts.
