Visualisation gallery

Before concentrating on specific visualisation methods, it is worth thinking about what makes a good visualisation, and reviewing some examples of where things have gone wrong.  A poor visualisation is one where it is not possible to reliably read the information you expect to be able to see, or even worse, where the presentation of data actually obscures patterns present in the data – leading to erroneous conclusions.

This section involves several examples of good and bad visualisation.  Reflecting the “Golden Rules” of visualisation, you should review each example and identify what you believe are its strongest and weakest aspects.
