My CreationFor this project I used the program Xara, to create a graphical representation of the population of the United Kingdom. Seen as a whole and then split into each of the Kingdom's specific countries.
I choose to do this because people often suffer from information overload, especially with large numbers such as millions and billions, as David McCandless points out in his TED Talk on 'The Beaty of Visual Data'. I feel this depiction of the population by circle size allows for the audience to gain a better under standing of the numbers, and how they compare directly with one another. |
