CreaseCrusader91 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Anyone here have experience making them? Tips, templates or any other advice? I have used Inforgr.am and other sites like that, but looking to do something in Photoshop. I know most people will say that Illustrator is good, but I don't have that. I am trying to get better with data visualization and would welcome any tips and/or advice and resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 You should absolutely be doing them in Illustrator for two reasons: 1. File size can be minimized greatly by working with vector-based art and as few layers as possible. 2. It's just plain easier. As to what to do or not, it's tough to say. It all depends on the context of the subject matter, what info needs to be in them, what's most important, etc. I'd check out sites like Smashing Mag for tips. In fact, they have a great article on it here: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2011/10/14/the-dos-and-donts-of-infographic-design/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Something else to keep in mind is the ol' "good artists borrow, great artists steal" adage. Don't be afraid to source layouts and styles from other effective designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
