Zu beurteilende Grafik

CO2 Emissions

Critics on the table

• Non-data ink is high :
  • Shadowing and the 3-D visualization of the World Map, 3d visualization of the CO2 emissions and rising tides, these objects increase the non-data ink, thus decreasing the data-ink ratio.
  • 3-D CO2 Emission Bars block some the regions which is supposed to convey important information. (Especially the regions in black)
  • The icon, which aims to emphasize regions of poverty, blocks important information and de-emphasizes the data-ink, although this icon doesn't convey a precise information.

• • The real message or data is not supported in the Graph, and this is against the task of visualizing quantitive information.
