iPad charting: some love from @lovely_djay
Posted: December 11, 2011 in Presentation excellence, SoftwareHad you been a faithful reader of this blog (haven’t you regretted this already several times?) you would remember this post about Lovely Charts, a brave attempt to make charting slightly less obvious, monotone and Powerpoint-dull. Jérôme Cordiez brings us an exquisitely superfluous – but exactly for this reason totally necessary – application which brings [...]
