In this movie I'll show you how to take this…mess of a pictograph that we have so far and turn…it into this good-looking pictograph in which the guys are spaced…away from each other, and the graph isn't so wide either.…So it's well inside the artboard.…The problem is, while you can scale a graph in Illustrator as much as you…want proportionally, there is no good way…to scale it non-proportionally without distorting the elements…in the graph.…Which is why, and this is going to sound like tragic…news, the best way to work is to start over.…
The good news is that we've got a lot of the work done…so Illustrator's going to stick with the settings that we've used in the past.…We've already established our design, we already have the data and…we have a bunch of default settings established now as well.…So the first thing you want to do here is look at the problems with the graph.…So I'll go ahead and zoom out a little bit here.…And the big problem is, it's too wide, because it…goes outside of the artboard, and it's not tall enough.…
