In this Illustrator how-to video, Amy Balliett gives a few helpful pointers on presenting data with bar and chart graphs. She demos how to separate the elements of the chart to individually style them and how to update the look across similar elements. Amy also points out how font and line choice can make your data stand out without being overwhelming to the reader.
This video is an excerpt from Amy’s “Visualizing Data with Charts and Graphs” session at CreativePro’s Adobe Illustrator Summit. You can also watch her “Data Visualization: Best Practices” course on LinkedIn Learning here: https://www.linkedin.com/learning/data-visualization-best-practices.
