Nussbaumer Knaflic published in her blog “storytelling with data” a chart form “the
Economist” asking “how you would
visualize hurricanes?” .
In October (http://www.storytellingwithdata.com/blog/2017/10/1/how-youd-visualize-hurricanes)
she presented the results.
For the data visualizer it is very interesting to analyse
the different approaches. We can observe, that the presentations concentrate nowadays
on how to show the facts and tend to be more analytical. Maybe because of the
scientific theme glitter and gimmicks fortunately disappeared. But most of the
charts because of their scientific approach seem to take more time to fully
understand the content. In an economic journal like “the Economist” in a first
step a more simpler presentation than the proposed ones could have been more
readable.
