The Right Way to Display Data

How you display data is everything. Great data, displayed poorly is like a brilliant idea that you can't explain to anyone. When you display your data correctly, it tells a story without a single word being spoken.

The New York Times does an excellent job of displaying complex data sets, often across multiple axis. If you haven't checked out their election maps, you must. Be sure to look at the county analysis.
