Why I Chose It: I’m a scientist, and I love interactive infographics! This had both.
What I Liked About It: I loved the fact that it was interactive: I could manipulate the infographic (i.e., data) and it would spit out a different image (i.e., result). Total eye and brain candy.
Tufte’s principles used:
Comparisons (Principle 1), because it compared Democrats and Republicans.
Multivariate Analysis (Principle 3), because it analyzed which politicians to include (presidents, governors, senators, and/or representatives), how to measure economic performance (employment, inflation, gross domestic product, and/or stock prices), and other options (factor in power and/or exclude recessions).
