Join Nigel French for an in-depth discussion in this video Adding the finishing touches, part of Designing an Infographic.
…We now have three versions of our World War I Mobilized…Forces and Casualties infographic, part of the larger World War I infographic.…There's the cockscomb charts, the donut charts, and the pie charts.…I'm going to use the cockscomb chart because…I feel they're more visually interesting and convey the…drama of the data in a way the…more conventional pie charts and donut charts do not.…Just to finish up, I'll add a separating line between the two opposing powers.…
And for graphical interest, I'm going to make this a piece of barbed wire.…On my pasteboard, I have a simple vector graphic of barbed wire.…I'm now going to make this into a pattern brush.…I'll click on my Brushes panel, select this,…and drag it over onto the Brushes panel.…And I want this to be a pattern brush.…Now, because this is going to be a simple,…vertical line, we don't need to worry about the corners.…We can just click OK.…And then, I can choose my Line Segment tool, draw myself a line down the middle.…
That needs to nudge over just a fraction.…
