Key points on these that I need to include:
- Grid system
- Adobe Kuler colour scheme

What I like about them is that where a paragraph or large chunk of text would generally be off-putting, an infographic is actually pleasing to the eye and draws you in to learn instead of boring you or pushing you away.
So I have already decided from this that my infographic also needs to be pleasing to the eye.
The only thing that I have created that is similar before is an infographic for coffee, where I was just simply playing around with Adobe Illustrator to get to know the tools a bit better. Here is what I created (not finished):
