WHAT WORKS WELL?
- Placing the filters on the upper right let me know immediately that I can interact with the data to find my own story.
- The bar chart is sorted in descending order.
- The summary numbers provide some context, but not much.
WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED?
- The bar chart would be easier to read if it was horizontal.
- Why are all of the bars colored? There are way too many colors and they have no meaning.
- The packed bubbles would be much better as a bar chart or BANs.
WHAT I DID
I started by exploring each field in the data set. Many of them didn't have information I found useful, so I hid all of those fields so that they would not distract from my analysis.
As I explored the donors and who gave what to whom, I saw that Bearwood Corporate Services was donating A LOT to the Conservative Party over a period of a few years. I hadn't heard of it before so I did some research on Google and it turns out that they were pretty controversial and closely linked to the rise to power of David Cameron.
That's where my story begins...
