Makeover Monday 2019/ Week 36: Fall is favourite season for most Americans
This week Makeover Monday community is looking at a chart about Americans’ favourite seasons from YouGov’s article.
Which is your favorite season of the year, if any? / Chart by YouGov
Original Makeover Monday post and data set on data.world.
What works in this chart?
- It gives a clear breakdwon of preferences by season and age group.
- Using a question as a title helps audience to be more engaged with the visualization.
- It uses colours efficiently.
What can be improved?
- The absence of the total per season makes it difficult to answer the question in title.
- Totals for age groups don’t add up to 100%.
My take on the chart
Fall is favourite season for most Americans / Designed by Anya Prosvetova
I decided to re-design the chart to make the answer to the title question more prominent, and turned it into a stacked bar. Now the main focus is the total preference per season, and each season bar is broken down further to show preferences for each season by each age group.
