OT, but are there dedicated tools to create these kinds of interesting infographics? Or do folks just use Photoshop, Illustrator, etc?

- cellis 17y agoI know the designers on HN will crucify me for saying this, but it seems to me there is a very real market for templates like this. Maybe even a blogozine startup?
- hrishimittal 17y agoMy startup Pretty Graph is working on an online graph-making app, which will make such graphs easy to make in the browser. Sign up at http://prettygraph.com http://prettygraph.com or email me at hrishimittal@gmail.com and I will let you know when we go live. (My usual HN id is revorad, but I'm... err noprocrasting :-)
- johns 17y agoSo you want people to sign up for a preview of a pretty graph maker without showing any pretty graphs?
- hrishimittal 17y agoGood point John. The full site with previews and a trial version will be up in a few days. That's why I haven't posted an Ask HN review post yet. I mentioned it in this thread because people expressed interest in such an app.
- johns 17y agoSorry, that response was more snippy than it should have been. I'll look forward to your Ask HN
- whatusername 17y agohttp://flowingdata.com/ http://flowingdata.com/ has a few resources and sources.. I think the answer is - for the really high quality stuff - the end result is normally always Photoshop/Illustrator.
