Thanks - I understand your points, it's promotional and the content is not super-interesting if you're not into tea, or not British maybe, but I'm glad you like

Thanks - I understand your points, it's promotional and the content is not super-interesting if you're not into tea, or not British maybe, but I'm glad you like the presentation anyway. That's about 3 days work in there :)

Oh, you did it? Very nice work! Care to share something about it? What did you use to create it? What was the process like?

  Yep, it was 'homemade' - in brief, I first made a list of the facts that I want to show (eg. amount of tea imported), then did about 2 days of research. Then I used photoshop, and traced outlines of images found from images.google.com. If you want a full version, I'll happily write a slightly longer how-to type thing?

    Yes, more details would be great. You could write it as a blog post and submit it to HN again.

      @Revisor - here it is: http://westiseast.co.uk/blog/how-to-make-an-infographic/ http://westiseast.co.uk/blog/how-to-make-an-infographic/ The mechanics of making the vector images is already well covered by other good photoshop guides (linked in the blog post) but the general steps I went through are here. Hope it's helpful for you.
