I totally underestimated the amount of time involved in creating an infographic. I thought you just drop a few icons on a page and add text. What I hadn’t realised is that the whole point about summarising content in a visual means collating and condensing that information first. So in this example I had to get the percentages in an excel file, generate and export the doughnut chart, then resize the icon to fit the circle, add the icon to the doughnut in PS then do same for the other stats, add them all to the final image trying to keep the sizes consistent. I will appreciate infographics I come across more thoroughly in future.
