Instead of a particular visualization, I want to consider the entire class of charts that are published in the newspaper, The Economist. I do so because there is a distinct consistency in how these charts are plotted and structured which makes these visualizations rather appealing and easy to understand. Despite covering a plethora of topics, these charts are lucid, and to the point, conveying all necessary information in a straightforward manner. Consider the below visualization as an example;
URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/ClgrWOKOSjh/ Title: Over 1.3m people are under medical observation in China
The chart has a basic title, “Over 1.3m people are under medical observation in China” and the short descriptive title, “Covid-19 close contacts under medical observation*,2022,m”. This is immediately reflected in the line chart which rises to 1.3 million people, on the Y-scale which is on the right-hand side instead of the conventional left side. So it becomes clear that the number rose to that specific value. The font is easy to read and the colour scheme is simply black, grey and red. The months are labelled with the starting letter of the month's name, making the chart concise and directing attention straight away to what the chart is trying to convey and the overall message of the chart.
The beauty of this design is how a similar pattern with a notable preference for line and bar charts (which are the easiest to read and understand quickly), and simple colours are consistently followed throughout all their visualisations as can be seen from the 2 URLs given at the top of the comment. Another observation about why these charts are appealing is that the chart titles match the message of the chart and guide the viewer naturally to that message. For instance, in the below line chart, the title highlights the growing dissatisfaction with family doctors and correspondingly in the chart, the line for GPs is in red while for the other types of doctors the lines are in the faded shades of grey. Thus through this subtle choice of colours, the message is highlighted for the viewer.

This is not to say that all of the Economist visualizations are perfect. Charts such as the one shown below are inherently complex and it takes time to completely understand and absorb the data that is being shown. But by being consistent in design principles, colour scheming and chart structure, the Economist becomes an exemplar for understanding the nuances of good data visualisation techniques.

At first glance, this infographic, published in 2021 by Visual Capitalist, looks attractive and interesting. The designer does a good job of balancing different colours - the ones chosen are pretty, while not being excessive. The title, too, is fairly prominent - I quickly get a clear idea of what this is about. The designer aptly chose to annotate each bubble with the iconography associated with each website (as against simply using the name of the website). Doing so seems economical. Notice the second and the fourth largest websites - one does not need to read the names “YouTube” and “Twitter” in order to understand that these, respectively, are the second and the fourth largest websites in the world. Their logos are iconic enough.
Each bubble contains the number of views / visits - which provides a scale by which to compare two websites. Speaking of comparisons, however, the graphic does make the classic mistake of implicitly asking users to compare sizes of circles. If I was narrating this visual to someone over a phone call, I would have said “Google is not only the largest website in the world, it is the largest website by far. It is nearly three times as large as the runner-up, YouTube.” Now, this statement, and especially the 3X factor between YouTube and Google, can only be inferred by reading how many billion clicks these websites have. The sizes of the circles don’t help a lot when comparing sizes, as we know well. As I continue to read the graphic, when I reach the fifth most popular website (Wikipedia), I realize that the bubbles have become too small for their sizes to still be meaningful. At this point, the size becomes a distraction, and I’m left simply reading the contents of each bubble. Perhaps a different visual scale (or even a numerical one - e.g. comparing the logarithms of the number of visits) would have been more suitable.
It’s not only the bubbles that hamper the readability of the chart. Following the largest sites in sequence - Google, YouTube, Facebook, and then Twitter and Wikipedia - is easy. But once I reach smaller and smaller sites, I find it increasingly difficult to locate the next biggest website. Suppose I am currently looking at the sixth largest website - Instagram - which is located approximately to the horizontal right and vertical center, right next to it’s parent company, Facebook. From here, I need to find the seventh largest website. I know by now that looking for the next largest circle is pointless. So my only option is to look around the graphic randomly, hoping to catch the 7th ranking website somewhere by chance (the 7th largest website is Baidu, located in the bottom left quadrant - there is no reason why it should be there and not closer to Instagram). At this point, I’ve given up reading the chart from the perspective of ranking websites, and I start looking for other visual cues that may provide more information.
In the background are three quarters of a circle - like a doughnut with its top left quadrant cut off. The moment I see this “ring”, my first instinct is to run my eyes around it in a clockwise fashion - from the 12 o’clock position to the 9 o’clock position. This reaction comes naturally to me - as naturally as I would read a vertical bar chart from bottom to top, or a horizontal one from left to right. This reaction is not rewarded with any new information. The 3/4th doughnut also has lightly coloured concentric rings within it - so I try to see if their radii mean anything, but this too is misleading. Ultimately, as a design element, the “ring” is wasted.
The only other aspect of this infographic that I find useful is the bar chart in the top left quadrant, which shows the the grouping of websites across categories. It’s a straightforward, no-nonsense bar chart that gets the job done. Unfortunately it doesn’t make the remainder of the infographic more palatable. For example, I see from the bar chart that “Programming and Developer Software” is a popular category of websites (fourth from the bottom of the bar chart) - but I have no way of figuring out which specific websites fall within this category.
In summary, it seems to me that the designers took a lot of effort to convey smaller, less relevant details of websites (e.g. websites belonging to the same organization are clustered and even colour coded), instead of simply focusing on doing what the title promises - ranking the top 50 websites.

The graph doesn't convey lot of information as stacked bar chart is used for this problem.We can see in each team the player's salary for MLS(Major League Soccer) tournament this is conducted in United States.This chart is hosted at Tableau, which is one of the modern visualization software suites. It appears to be a user submission. Alas, more power did not bring more responsibility.Sorting the bars by total salary would be a start.The colors and subsections of the bars were intended to unpack the composition of the total salaries, namely, which positions took how much of the money. These pictures doesn't make any information for the given data.We see that multi colours used for each small rectangle.The x-axis is represented as salary given to players.And two stacked bar charts are present in one image.The main problem is the important information are in small font size.In some teams the two players are present top and below in one barchart.

Visualizing Layoffs at Prominent Startups Triggered by COVID-19 Article URL: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/layoffs-prominent-startups-covid-19/
PROS:
• Easy to visually understand as the aera of circle depicts how many employees are laid off from each company due covid-19 in from March-11 to May 26. • Clear labelling about company name, % of lay off, number of employees fired provides a faster understanding. • Color scheme is simple, does not distract viewer. • The diameter of circle gives a relative idea on number of people laid off from each company. • The objective of the topic is clearly represented. There is additional information at the bottom for the colours used and details in circle despite not needing one, the visuals are pretty self-explanatory. The additional information about the companies, Industries are useful. • There is no overlaying of data as each position is uniquely occupied making the data free of confusion • Scale on each axis is the same and all scales are aligned. • Source of the data is mentioned.
CONS:
• The positioning of circles is in no specific order. A better labelling about month or week in each segments will give a clarity on trend on layoff. • Colouring of circles can be better. Uber has laid of 25% employees while deliv has fired 100% of its work force. The diameter of the circle shows the number of people affected which masks the severity of percentage of layoff in a company. Probably usage of red colour for higher percentage firing would be helpful to alarm about the company. • Past data of wework presented in the corner is irrelevant. • Brief about a few companies were mentioned with in the diagram which shows lack of consistency. • This graph is an excellent representation for a limited data representation. However, for an year’s data with more companies included the similar visualizations may look clumsy.

Tennis players often like to know where they hit their shots from and the trajectory of the ball once the shot is hit. On the basis of this information, players may adjust their game plan and consider redesigning their training regiment to improve their game. For instance, if the player is uncomfortable hitting backhand crosscourt (i.e. diagonally across the court) shots from a certain position, the player may include drills to improve that stroke. Correspondingly, by looking at the opponent's data, the player may be able to anticipate the direction in which the opponent may hit the ball if said opponent is in a certain position of the court, and accordingly change their game plans for the match. The following 'Shot graph' was prepared using data from matches between Kei Nishikori and other top players like Federer, Djokovic, Murray and Wawrinka.

The visualization intends to show that more than 4.2bn people in Asia are breathing air that is many times dirtier than what's considered within the World Health Organisation's safe limit.

The visualization shows us about the cost of 1GB of mobile data in 155 countries.
What worked:
countries represented as flags instead of just names helps us to identify a particular country easily.
source of information and reason for the high/low prices in some countries are given in the visualization for better understanding.
representation of the prices as area of the circle makes it easier to compare with other countries.
top 5 most and least expensive countries are given in separate list for easy lookup(and it is positioned appropriately )
what didn't work and could have been better:
the x axis is underutilized, This visualization could have used the x axis to represent other data (like Total data usage per user).
below the 5 dollar mark the chart is cluttered with overlapping countries, which makes harder to read. grouping the countries into categories and representing it as a list on the side will solve this issue
This visualization doesn't make any relation with the population of the country, the minimum wage in the country or the speed at which the data is received. So it doesn't paint the whole picture and might be misleading in the terms of quality of the data provided.

The above static visualization displays the largest oil and gas companies in the world in terms of revenue, highlighting the top 20 companies using a pie chart.
This static visualization is effective to describe the relative size of the top 20 companies in the world by showing their revenue using a pie chart.
Anyone can easily read and understand this chart for its clear labeling and a color scheme that distinguishes each company.
The accompanying text and company logos provide additional context and help to identify the specific companies.
However, the visualization has some limitations.
First of all it is not following the characteristics of a pie chart. The format of this chart is not helpful for readers to understand the distribution of the data quickly.
It does not provide any information on the impact of these companies on the environment or society.
Additionally, the visualization does not provide any interactivity or the ability to filter or sort the data.
To improve the visualization, it could include interactive features like revenue or country name that allow users to filter and sort the data easily.
Use a color-scheme with better contrast.
It could also provide more information on the specific sources of revenue for each company and their impact on the environment and society.

Although a high-definition image of the above data visualization was not available, a lot of inferences can be made from the above plot.
PROS-
Although the moto of the above data visualization is to show the correlation between GDP per capita and air pollution, due to the design style, there can be seen a clear split between east and west. This clearly shows that the western world breathes cleaner air than the eastern world.
CONS-
The main moto of the image was to show the collection between GDP per capita and air pollution, But the GDP per capita was not shown in any form in the picture.
What the density of dots represent has not been mentioned and the picture also does not clearly depict any such thing.
