      Oh well, never mind.

      BTW, I trained as a graphic designer in the late 70s, in Britain a graphic designer was someone who could communicate visually. I suppose with infographics you have to be part designer, part accountant...

      PS: googled graphic news designer, no hits, must be very new. mieawww

        A graphic news designer is usually employed by a newspaper, doing primarly infographics. A graphic designer could be anything.

        Accounting? Nope there´s nothing of that kind involved in my work, luckily 😄

            One example (NY Times) of a gazillion ways to work with infographics:

                      They might not have done the modellling in SU. It can be done though, in many different ways. I would do the modelling in SU and then import to Illustrator. Again, there are multiple ways of going about it.

                            One criticism of the above example is that it´s not the best way to present the data, but they probably liked the design idea too much to drop it. It looks really neat though, with the profesional appearance still intact. The two can be hard to balance sometimes.
