Seek and Find 7: Critique

We’re back to usual seek and finds – bring a visualization.

A difference this time: we are asking you to critique the visualization! Up until now, we have explicitly not asked you to critique the visualizations – just to find them and identify aspects of them. This time, you get to find a visualization and explain what you think about it (good or bad).

Provide a visualization (subject to the usual ground rules) and provide a brief critique. Do you think it’s effective? What choices do you think are good or bad? Can you make some constructive criticisms? Can you identify some particularly good decisions that we can learn from?

Avoid the temptation to pick an intentionally bad visualization – that makes it too easy to describe flaws. Picking a decent visualization, where there are good and bad points will be more useful practice.
