I chose to use Canva to create this draft of an infographic tool. Although the template was very easy to work with, it did require tweaking to fit the data sets I was using.
I dislike creating charts in Canva, as I don't feel that it allows enough customization. Take for instance the "Book Classification" pie chart. I opted to go with grey here, because I couldn't select the colors for each wedge of the pie. When using the available Canva color option in this chart, all of the infographic's harmony was being lost by two of the wedges' hues being more blue-green than the rest of the design. However, other issues in utilizing Canva to create charts can be more detrimental to actual content and not just visual. For instance with large data sets it can be difficult to ensure all segments are labelled clearly.
Another issue I ran into was my save method. I usually save things from Canva as a PDF, but to share on this blog I had to go back and save as a JPEG. So, I think it would be vitally important to know how the completed product is going to be used, to ensure students are instructed to save in the format that will be most relevant to their purposes.
I can see infographics as a great tool for introducing new units or books (themes, characters, etc.) to students, or as projects for students to engage and show mastery of the content.

I saw that Erin saved it as a pdf and then placed it in the blog as a document to download, so that might be an option as well. So, the grey on your wedge/pie chart I think works fine with the colors you have going on. I feel like if it had been in rainbow colors it would have distracted, although maybe hues of green would have worked as well, but if it didn't let you edit it then there isn't a lot you can do.
