Join Justin Seeley for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating charts and graphs: Illustrator, part of Designing a Presentation.
All right. So we've seen how to create basic charts…and graphs inside of applications like PowerPoint and Keynote.…And those are great for creating graphs that you can easily just pop into a…presentation and use. However, I actually prefer to do most of…my data visualization inside of an application like Adobe Illustrator.…And that is because Illustrator is a vector drawing program that allows me to…get really super creative with the data I create.…Now I'm not saying that you shouldn't do your initial data sets inside of something…like PowerPoint or Keynote. Because those are handy ways of creating…those graphs. But then take those, export them out as…maybe a jpeg or something like that so that you have a good representation of…what the data looks like in scale. And then bring it over into illustrator…and create some really crazy stuff with it.…
That's what I'm trying to get you to understand.…You could also just create a chart inside of Illustrator and then use that chart to…actually create some really awesome looking data as well.…
