Good and Bad Visual Data

Good Data

Despite the fact that the picture is a little cut off on the right side, I think that this is a great example of good visual data. the colors are very clear, the information is very precise, and very well made. Te information covers a fair amount of territory, going through many trilogies and representing them in a very nice manner. In summary: It is very clear, and incredibly precise.

Bad Data

In my opinion, this is representative of bad visual data. The coloration of the letter in the circle, the spacing of the letter, and the coloration of the sections all add together to not look nice. Also, the fact that the data is split up into two different sections, what is in the circle itself, and then what the colors of the various sections mean splits attention into two different focuses, each of which contains roughly the say ideas. In one case the same information is expressed three times.
