Indexing Infographics in search engines?

Developing an Infographic takes a lot of design work and it's really time-consuming and after all that work you can only give it a file name and attach an alt tag with a keyword. Basically nothing different from normal images.

It's a pity from my point of view. The only solution I could find is somehow adding text below each infographic that contains its main keywords so that Google can understand what the infographic is all about.

What about the EXIF data that Mike mentioned in my discussion about image SEO? Perhaps this will help with indexing infographics. I still haven't figured out how to do that but perhaps this will make a big difference?

I still want to get into cool infographics but I will so need to outsource this work, my design skills are not great and I don't think I will ever get much better.

Since you don't copy images from somewhere else and create your own infographic, I guess you don't need to rename the EXIF data Mike mentioned about.
The only solution I can think off is to explain or present the infograph content that contains the main keywords.

Very true, but surely you can add information to it, the details that you want showing? Maybe a keyword or your website?

I agree that you have to be writing for people and not for the search engines. In one discussion there was the comment that he would be counting the keywords that he included in the content on a web page to make sure that he has enough keywords for the search engines. That clearly shows some people’s focus is now on search engines and not on the contents to be read by the users.
