Winning a Kingdom (By Deception)

As many of my friends know, I've been deep into the Song of Ice and Fire series lately (Finished book 1 in under ten days, about to start book 2. No spoilers!) So I opted to make a quick infographic about how to win a kingdom by deception. Anyone can win in an honourable fight with enough soldiers and knights, but it takes true mastery to win a kingdom by deception!

In the PDF, the rollovers are a burgundy colour, and it all seems pretty flawless... except that saving the file as a PDF deactivates the links. I checked, I couldn't find any way to make the "go to page" button work, making the interactivity part of the interactive PDF utterly pointless. Hopefully I can fix this in class, but if not... I tried. I did. It just doesn't function because reasons. That's all I got.

I drew up the image in Photoshop, popped it into Illustrator to livetrace it, and made it all work in InDesign with a little work. All in all, it was kinda fun! If I can figure out how to make the interactivity work in the future, I might make a lot more of these!
