Aufgabenstellung

Beschreibung der Aufgabe 3

Zu beurteilende Grafik


Teenage births in rich nations


Criticism

  • The graph has no title. People looking at the graph can not see immediately what the graph is about.[Few 1, 2004]
  • Data is not ordered in a meaningfull sequence.[Few 1, 2004]
  • Legend describing the meaning of read circles stands inside the table. Put it on top?
  • Filled circles increase data ink, use unfilled circles instead?
  • The lines are to strong, use less satured color, remove shading

Optimized Table

Improvements
