Aufgabenstellung
Zu verbessernde Grafik
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, 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
- 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.
