A Great Chart: How Much Hotter This June Has Been
Cool Infographics: Charts and graphs can communicate data; infographics turn data into information.
I really like this chart! It hits all of the data visualization design best practices for me. This was published by the NYTimes in the article: Here’s How Much Hotter Than Normal This June Has Been
Here’s what I like:
-
It’s time series data, so it’s visualized as a line chart
-
Year-over-year data is easy to compare as overlapping lines for the same Jan-Dec time period
-
No chart legend! The lines are labeled directly within your field of view in the chart
-
Using the pre attentive attribute of color, 2023 is highlighted in orange and the rest are gray lines
-
The chosen orange color isn’t red or green so there isn’t any implication of good or bad
-
The 2022 line is a darker shade of gray, so it’s also distinguishable, but not the focus
-
The x-axis labels are only every other month to minimize the text on the page
-
The is one example of when a non-zero baseline is appropriate so you can see the details
