Case Study: Explanation Design creates a flawless 250+ chart report with Datylon

How Explanation Design uses Datylon to create a report with 250+ charts

Klaas van der Veen of Explanation Design was faced with the challenge of creating the 2021 Access to Medicine Index report, which contained over 250 charts that needed to be published in multiple formats. The data from over 15 researchers was continuously evolving, and he needed a tool that integrated with Adobe Illustrator to update charts efficiently without losing any design work.

Using Datylon for Illustrator, Klaas implemented a solution that kept source data linked to all charts, allowing for easy one-click updates even as the data changed. The tool's extensive styling features ensured a consistent and readable design across all charts and formats. This workflow, facilitated by Datylon, saved a tremendous amount of time and resulted in the flawless production of the complex, data-rich report.
