Poor Graphic

State of the Planet - Bigger, Faster, Stronger, More

Arguments why it is a poor graphic

  • Principles of Graphical Integrity

lie factor Clear, detailed, and thorough labeling should be used.(the numbers are not readable and the lines between the numbers are not needed and very irritating. The number of information-carrying (variable) dimensions depicted should not exceed the number of dimensions in the data.(a pseudo 3-dimensional graphic is used to show 1-dimensional data.

  • data-ink ratio:very poor data-ink ratio.
  • visual clutter:
  • Data Density:
  • Chartjunk:
  • in the text a reason for increased hurricans is mentioned, but in the shown data is no evidence for that, because there is no reason related data.
