* Reading this graphic is very difficult.
* Layering of the circles is confusing - banks are not related just because they have about the same percentage -> use bar/line charts instead, in order to make the chart more understandable.
* Comments are confusing and need too much space, put the comments near the chart.
* Subtract unnecessary non-data ink.
* Use colors which banks have been merged, same colors like in the "percentage growth" creates the linking effect.
* 2007 and 2009 don't seem very related to each other, maybe this should be combined in one single chart with different color/saturation.
* Use hachure effect for 2007 bars, as they are not the current value of the banks. And use the same color for full- and hacured-barrs for each bank in order to observe the ralation between them.
* To highlight the data, use gray color for the other banks which are not as important as these 3 banks, so that the viewer's concentration could focus only on the significant data.

* Sense of the graphic is hard to get.
* Circles on the right side don't have any relation to the rest of the graphic.

Aufgabenstellung[edit]

Beschreibung der Aufgabe 3

Zu verbessernde Grafik[edit]


Critics & Good Points[edit]


General[edit]

  • Good use of low-saturated colors
  • Information is presented in a nice-to-look-at way
  • Wrong visualisation type -> you can't extract the actual information out of this pictures

Percentage Growth[edit]

  • Gives a good overview.
  • Topic should be presented larger and stronger.
  • The use of different colors for the individual banks could achieve linking with the other graphics.

Residential Mortgages[edit]

  • Reading this graphic is very difficult.
  • Layering of the circles is confusing - banks are not related just because they have about the same percentage -> use bar/line charts instead, in order to make the chart more understandable.
  • Comments are confusing and need too much space, put the comments near the chart.
  • Subtract unnecessary non-data ink.
  • Use colors which banks have been merged, same colors like in the "percentage growth" creates the linking effect.
  • 2007 and 2009 don't seem very related to each other, maybe this should be combined in one single chart with different color/saturation.
  • Use hachure effect for 2007 bars, as they are not the current value of the banks. And use the same color for full- and hacured-barrs for each bank in order to observe the ralation between them.
  • To highlight the data, use gray color for the other banks which are not as important as these 3 banks, so that the viewer's concentration could focus only on the significant data.

Bank Deposits[edit]

  • Sense of the graphic is hard to get.
  • Circles on the right side don't have any relation to the rest of the graphic.
  • The use of a bar or pie chart for the amount of money that is partitioned over the 3 banks would help understanding the graphic.
  • Use hachure effect for 2007 bars, as they are not the current value of the banks. And using the same color for full-and hacured-barrs for each bank in order to observe the ralation between them.
