Makeover Monday: Where Nike Products Are Made

, , , , , No comments
Nike, one of the most recognizable brands in the world, is also being very transparent with its data about their facilities. Hopefully many other companies will follow their lead. Here's the viz Eva tasked us with making over:


What works well?

  • The summary card on the right is packed full of information and as you zoom, you get different levels of detail.
  • Keeping the map a single color allows you to focus on where the factories are located.
  • Excellent interactivity
  • Overall, everything is simple and clean.

What could be improved?

  • Adding some filtering capabilities
  • Make it easier to identify the smaller countries, possibly by outlining the countries with a white border.

What I did

  • Mimic the style of the cards with its BANs
  • Make some of the importion that's buried deeper in the map more evident
  • Use Nike official colors
  • Add some simple interactivity through actions

This is a pretty simple viz this week and I really enjoyed making it. It's almost like a report card.

Makeover Monday: The Impact of the Global Recession on German Automobile Production

, , , , , No comments
Congrats on making it to the halfway point of #MakeoverMonday 2017. I don't think I'd have hadthe energy to keep it up this year if Eva hadn't joined me, so special thanks to her for her countless contributions, endless ideas, and infectious energy.

Life will be hectic these next two weeks. I'm off the Germany for 10 days, helping our German team with Zen Master events in Frankfurt and Hamburg before heading to Exasol Xperience in Berlin next week. This week, we're looking at German car production to make it more relevant for the #MakeoverMonday live sessions we'll be running.


What works well?

  • Line charts are generally very easy to understand
  • Including a trend line
  • Great responsiveness for the tooltips
  • Including the Year over Year change in the tooltip
  • Including a BAN in the tooltip
  • Putting the tooltip into a sentence

What could be improved?


  • Needs a better title
  • Remove the car icon from the tooltip
  • Remove the up and down arrows from the tooltip; they're redundant to the text.
  • It's pretty boring. What's the story?

What were my goals?

  • Find a story in the data
  • Create a more informative visualisation
  • Explore the data, particularly with all the ways you can create time series in Tableau
  • Keep the viz to a single worksheet in order to keep it simple
  • Give the viz a meaningful title
  • Use German colors
  • Get it all done in an hour; I'm really pressed for time as I type this.
  • Keep the idea of the tooltips from the original with the BANs.

Ok, that's it. Here's my Makeover Monday week 26 viz.
