Better communication through graphs

Possum from Pollytics is such a snob. He gets all shitty and aloof when people create graphs that don’t use his favourite colour scheme or alignment or whatever.

And just what is the point of having big black gridlines that hide the small blue data lines! The very purpose of charts and graphs is to convey the meaning of data in a way that facilitates its understanding. That means it must be easily readable as the fundamental starting point.

Elitist.

Anyway, I’ve created this graph that clearly explains some important facts about GrodsCorp.

At-a-glance knowledge

Stick that in yer intertubes and smoke it, Possum.

Graphing ‘Q And A’

I was unfortunate enough to catch ABC TV’s limp political panel chat program Q And A last night. It was just as underwhelming this time around as it was when Kevin07 was on it a few weeks ago. Tony Jones kept plugging the program’s website where useless information such as graphs showing the breakup of the topic of audience questions could be found.

When I saw that graph I realised that much more useful information about the show could be communicated in graph form.

Now there is a useful graph.
