A flood of RAW joy

I keep hearing about Density Design’s RAW tool and had it filed away in the back of my mind to try out sometime. As usual, necessity is the mother of actually doing something. So, I did something, and now I am a happy camper. What a great tool!

I wanted to show a client how an alluvial diagram would do a good job of expressing some relationships in their data and was not thrilled at the prospect of trying to mock it up in Illustrator. In my search for an easier way, I stumbled across RAW again and had a vector sample in minutes. Brilliant.

Here’s a sample output (not the actual client’s data):

Thanks Density Design! Sad I waited so long.
