As the name suggests, Singles' Day began as a day for single people, symbolised by the four number ones in the date of 11 November - 11/11. In 2009 the online retail firm Alibaba adopted the day to promote a massive online shopping sale. It said the date was easy to remember. Singles' Day rapidly became a hit. Other online retailers began cashing in, and Alibaba copyrighted the term "Double 11".
(Info. from-- http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-30004583)I used Infographics to create a line chart about Alibaba total sales from 2009.11.11 to 2014.11.11. And I also had tried to use Adobe Illustrator to create some 'clock' graphics to display the real-time sales of Singles' Day.

and some major Chinese networks)
I also used google fusion tables to create a heat map and pie chart about 'Top 10 cities' expenditure in 2013 Singles' Day'.
