Poor Graphic
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.
