Selected Dataset

Dataset/Source	Data Description
Suicide Rates Overview (1985 to 2016) (https://www.kaggle.com/russellyates88/suicide-rates-overview-1985-to-2016)	This compiled dataset pulled from four other datasets linked by time and place, and was built to find signals correlated to increased suicide rates among different cohorts globally, across the socio-economic spectrum.

Example	Takeaways
	This is an visualisation shows the suicide rate per 100,000 people by country (1978-2009). It is a good practice to use the world map to show each country's suicide rate. The visualisation's colour usage is pretty messy. It is hard for the user to capture insightful information at first glance. Our further improvement to this visualisation will be:     1. Change the colour usage. We will use analogous colors instead of complementary colors     2. We will add interactive tooltips to provide detailed information about this suicide rate.
	This visualisation reveals the changes in suicide rate from 1965 to 2007. It is a good practice to insert Geometric figures inline chart to differentiate different countries. However, this visualisation looks very messy. This is because the author put too many countries on the chart at the time. It would be a good practice if we can add a filter which can let the user select the country they want.
	This visualisation is neat and clean. I like the way the author put the tooltip which makes the line chart very easy to read. There is no further improvement need to make for this visualisation.
	This visualisation provides Global suicide rate by age and income level of the country and regional distribution of global suicides. One further improvement that can be made to this visualisation is to change the abbreviation "LMIC" to plain text. It takes some time for the reader to find the reference for this abbreviation below. When making a comparison between high-income country and low-income country, we should use each country's suicide rate as the Y-Xias instead of exact suicide number.
