#MakeoverMonday Week 31 2019
This weeks dataset is from CDC and be found here.
The original visualization is as follows:
What’s good?
- Provides an insight into all the information that the dataset packs within
- Legible labels
What can be improved?
- I view this as an information overload. Although very insightful – it is too much to process
- Multiple graphs can be combined into one
I happened to stumble upon multiple articles that outlined data visualization best practices. I realized that although exhaustive – many of the visualizations i had been creating violated many important points highlighted in these best practices.
As someone who creates visualizations, we often become well versed with the dataset; this often translates into non intuitive representations for the end users.
So, for this weeks visualization I embarked on the path of data minimalism – trying to convey as much as possible with as little as possible. Here’s the rendition I made –
This visualization shows the progression of the no. of cases over the years. Since the dashboard is quite big – below are two gifs that show the dashboard in action:
I would love suggestion on best practices and on this visualization in general.
