Good question, I'd also like to know this one. I've alway thought they used Excel or power point but I'm not a pro with eigther. LOL

Ever use something like photoshop, quark, indesign?

1Kurgan1 · Oct 11, 2009

Photoshop would feel like a pain making the bars actually scaled correctly. I'm rusty on indesign though, that would probably work better.

With an Office or photo prgram l

This graph was made with open office...It's basic I'm sure if I looked hard enough i could find a similar look

It's not a office 2007 chart. Not really sure what he uses.

Trade secret i guess.

Try this site http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createAgraph/default.aspx

Its a kidz site but i just tested it & you can quickly slap together a nice graphical chart & theres loads of options.

one i quickly slapped together

Better to save your chart as a .png files. jpegs look abit ruth.

That makes sense, like I said, I couldn't see how it would be easy or worth the time figure out howto make them scale correctly. What is the software you use available too, company's? Whats it called, there has to be something else like it that we can buy.

Out of curiosity, how'd you get it in the first place?

I'm quite sure he made it himself.

He did.

angelkiller · Oct 11, 2009

Cool. Do other review sites do the same?

Binge · Oct 11, 2009

They may, but it's not incredibly hard to do it by hand. In fact if you outline your work before starting with guides, appropriate layers, and graphics which can be scaled then you can technically use any size bar to be your 100% and scale down from there.
