The purpose of a graph (and any other infographics) is to illustrate data in an adequate and user-friendly manner. If you have to think over and over what the graph represents, it means it's poorly designed.
- mfukar 16y agoI don't disagree with your point. I'm simply saying it's impossible to understand what a graph illustrates without reading few, simple sentences. Like its title.
- zalew 16y agoThe graph looks like a timeline while it isn't. I don't know what's the number in the peak point. What does some point in the middle of the line between f.ex. tv and newspapers represent? It's silly and confusing.
- mfukar 16y agoSo, rendering the graph as a bar set with proper numbering and perhaps a detailed legend would convey the information just as well and avoid confusion as to what points between "Movies" and "Books" mean (although that very question has a very elementary one-word answer followed by a look of ever-so-slight amusement). Still far from worst graph of the decade. For an example of a worse and far more hilarious case, over the top of my head: http://www.mydailyroast.com/?p=311 http://www.mydailyroast.com/?p=311 Have a nice day.
