How are These Visuals Created?

Data visualizations can be created by a variety of software/programs, but begin with research. After the research phase, most infographics are created by hand-in-design software, such as Illustrator or Photoshop.

Motion graphics are often created in After Effects or Final Cut Pro. Interactive data visualizations are hand-coded by developers. Visual.ly is working on data visualization tools to help everyone be able to communicate visually.
