Line Graph produced with iPad Pages App




I'm experimenting with creating graphs "on the go" using the Pages application on an iPad. The above graph shows power consumption in dollars. I saved it as a pdf and uploaded to a Windows laptop. In Adobe Acrobat Pro I added and centered the title using Tools. I saved this as a jpeg, and opened it in Photoshop.

In Photoshop, I reduced the image size to a 300 pixel width and optimized for the web.

After loading on this blog post, the text was too light so I returned to Photoshop. I created a duplicate layer and used the multiply effect to darken the text.
