Very interesting visualization. One thing I want to point out however is the rearrangement of the widgets should not be based on its size, but on relatedness instead. An for that to happen, you need to design the layout instead of using auto re-arrangement based on screen size.
- nikhizzle 12y agoGood point, the tradeoffs between making something visually interesting vs relevant from a visualization point of view were really tough on this project. I will look into some kind of compromise. Related data does not always look good next to each other. More broadly, when I visualize a set of data I follow Alberto Cairo's guidelines of Organize, Compare, and Correlate. In this project, I moved away from that quite a bit because I was seeking to make something interesting as opposed to useful. I was scratching an existential need I had to make this data accessible and interesting. :)
- fuzzythinker 12y agoFor me, I see the following sets of widgets highly related and should be next to each other: - Flight Time By Airline, .. by Time of Day, Average Timeline - Flights By Month, .. by Day of Week, .. by Time of Day But they are not, when I adjust from screen wide from all sizes from 860 to 2740.
- nikhizzle 12y agoThanks for the feedback. I will play with your suggested arrangements a bit in my next iteration. I've added it to my basecamp.
