Critics & Good Points

---

General

• 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

• 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

• 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
• Comments are confusing and need too much space, put the comments near the chart
• 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

Bank Deposits

• 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
