Poor Graphic

Incomes of Doctors Vs. Other Professionals

Problems:

  • Changing scale of the time line in mid-axis to make exponential growth linear (from slides). This is called the Lie Factor
  • Bad Data-Ink-Ratio
  • It is not very aestetic
  • Could have some more colors
  • Quite a lot of Chart Junk can be found in the graphic. The pictures of the doctors and the pictures of the other working men for example.

Proposals for new graphic:

  • Choose linear time scale without jumps
  • Analyze distribution (linear, exponential?)
  • Choose appropriate diagram type
  • Make the design simpler, without making it less understandable.
