Poor Graphic

Never Bitten, Twice Shy: The Real Dangers Of Summer

Discussion of the original graphic

First impressions of the design

  • Bad Data-Ink-Ratio, because of logos and text.
  • The location of the only axis in the diagram is not making sense. It seems like the first six items are negative in any way.
  • Order of items? What are the values for x- and y-axis?
  • The shark-picture is dominant

Detailed analysis of the data

  • At three Items are missing values, but they are still positioned somewhere
  • Outliers ??? What to write about them
  • There are three different dimensions of data in the picture, but where does the trend comes from?
** Odds injury
** Odds death
** Number of Articles
  • Ordering on x- and y-axis seems to be the odds of injury
  • No correlation to e.g. Number of articles. What should be the "Fear Index"


Better graphic

After taking a closer look at the data, we found out that the main message of the original graphic is not true. We explored the values with different diagrams. A rising odds injury doesn't always cause a higher number of articels. According to this conclusion we can not show the "fear-risk-ratio" in the same way as the source picture does, but we try to visualize the data in a new diagram. Because of the wide spread of the values, we had to use a logarithmic scale.

As you can see, there is no clear correlation between the different dimensions.
