Makeover Monday: The World is Becoming Less Peaceful

• Nice interactivity and tooltips
• Good filtering capabilities that show additional information
• Good slider implementation to scroll through the years
• Dark red and dark green countries are very distinct, drawing my eye to the worst and best

• It’s impossible to get a sense of any trends over the years
• Using a filled map makes it very difficult to see smaller countries
• It’s hard to get a feel for the overall peacefulness of the world, i.e., what’s the global average?
• Color palette is hard for color-blind people and doesn’t supply enough range in colors

For my version, I used the text of the summary below their visualisation to help craft my story. Throughout this year, I’ve primarily been creating long vizzes, but I really like the many examples Andy C has created that are wide, so I thought I’d give that a go this week.
