Google Drawing

Piktochart
FreePik
I personally like to use Keynote to create infographics. Tutorial on how I do it will be coming soon.
Image and Icon Resources
Pixabay
Pixabay is my favorite free image resource because all the images are in Public Domain. When you search, skip the sponsored images and scroll down to the free images. Notice you can search by color, size, type, etc. similarly to Google Images.
Google Images
Use the search tools > usage rights > labeled for reuse. I also like searching by color and type.
Icon Finder
This is a great source for icons. The only bummer is the paid ones are really cute so one tends to gravitate to them, but this site has a nice bank of free icons to use.
DaFont.com
Because I use Keynote to create graphics, I like to use the icon fonts in dafont.com. I keep a key of the fonts in a folder on my desktop to refer to. I explain it in this video, but I will create one that demonstrates how I use it soon.
