Last Friday Terry talked about some of the exciting new libraries and How To’s that we shipped with Illustrator CS4. I wanted to take time today to focus on some additional new CS4 Sample Art Files that show how Illustrator can be used to create visually intriguing, creative flow charts. Yes, you heard me right, I did say “Visually Intriguing” and “Flow Charts” in the same sentence!
Jennifer Willis is one of those rare designers who doesn’t cringe when taking on information graphics. Instead she has found a way of infusing her creative style into flow charts, while obviously having a great time doing it. Jennifer uses a variety of symbols and arrowheads that she creates. This adds a personal touch that reflects not only the designer but the client as well.



Try. Tweak. Rearrange. Delete. Freak. Start again.
Life’s not easy when your mind always wanders. Sugar, caffeine, salt and contemplation beseech you. Internally hypocritical, ruled by aesthetic caprice, you dissect the actual and seduce the imaginary. Your inner turmoil plaguing you as every small (often unnoticed) success is fashioned together by a sequence of countless failures - then instantly antsy upon completion.
