Best graphic visualisation tools for IB

As I sit here on a quiet Friday, waiting for my peers to come back from vacation, I figured I would dabble with some graphs and illustrations for a pitch we are working on. I've tried a number of different programs, but my personal favourites these days are Think-Cell and Logo-Intern. Think-Cell is quick and easy to create graphs, but I find that it comes short for creating football fields and similar. However, the ease and speed of using it makes up for this. LogoIntern is pretty much a must-have for any analyst.

I've also used Macabacus, Tableu (sucks for Powerpoint, primarily a presentation tool), Ycharts, the Thomson One add-in for graphs and some other random apps, but have yet to find something that I love.

So WSO, what are your favourite graphics tools that both look good, allows for certain customization and saved time?
