Makeover Monday: How Chinese New Year Compares With Thanksgiving

• Good title and subtitle
• Using colors that are easy to distinguish from each other
• Including the numbers to give the circles context

• Comparing circles is very difficult; what are we to compare? The size? The diameter? Either way, it's very difficult.
• Remove the background image
• Make the numbers comparable. China's population with way bigger than the US. Converting them to per capita would make for better comparisons.

What did I do

• Transposed the data so that I had a column for each measure
• Create per capita calculations for each measure
• The trips and spending data looked like the most interesting, do I discarded the viewership data since that really has nothing to do with the other data.
• Changed the circles to simple bar charts
• Made the titles of the charts state the message of the chart
