Talk:ISSS608 Sivagamy VISUALIZATION

Feedback by Chua Gim Hong

Overall, very interesting analysis and easy to understand visuals.

The first two graphs are aesthetically well considered. Please explore if you can improve on the clarity by (1) aligning the title with the description/labels on both axes (2) sorting the colour legends in the same order as the graphs and (3) using percentile on vertical axes to avoid cluttering of low values near the horizontal axes.

When using the map, please explore a larger image so that the fonts on the maps are large enough.

For vertical bar graphs, please consider labeling the bars quantitatively and removing the vertical axis.

Hi Shiva, you have put nice efforts in your work. But there are few points that I would like to highlight which we learnt in class as well as through reader’s perspective.
Reader’s perspective:
1. When you are providing any insights, please provide the picture reference that you are talking about. Because few times in a write-up portion you are talking about picture above and then in next point you start talking about picture below. So for a laymen, it will be difficult to trace which picture you are talking about. For e.g., in section “Ranger Stops”, your first point is about picture 1 and your next point is about picture 3.
Aesthetics:
1. The bar graph that you have shown in section “Campers” need to be sorted for better comparison and visuals.
2. The line graph in your Q2 section can have color contrast, few codes possess shades of a color which makes it hard to differentiate between the different car-types.
Clarity:
1. As I have also worked on this challenge, I don’t think that grouping 2 axle and 4 axle trucks as “truck” is a good option. If you try to do so, you can miss some important information because 2 axle truck can be part of ranger’s team for maintenance work and hence can be present at various places which are not so common for trucks to be there.
