Getting right to the point - A simple, well-executed bar chart by Nielsen
Nielsen released it’s quarterly consumer confidence index report today and their effort to produce a meaningful chart is much better this time. You may recall I was critical of them earlier in the month.
This chart is clear and to the point. Within seconds you can:
- See that there are approximately as many countries with an increase in consumer confidence as there are with a decrease
- Find your own country, see where it ranks and how it compares to the average
There are many well done aspects to this chart:
- The color choices for the bars makes them easily distinguishable
- The legend is out of the way, but easily referenced
- The title clearly indicates what you are reading
- The subtitle gives a super quick summary that gets right to the point

Maybe it is good that there are labels, there are so many countries that legend would be really big.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to critique but I prefer when you create your own charts, maps, visualizations. I learn more just looking at your work and you have good ideas for example like Cola Wars. Of course it is your blog and your decision.
