For this assignment, we'll use data stories from Reuters Graphics.

Select a story that you like, study it carefully and redesign it. Specifically I want you to focus on understanding the data that powers the story, and how it is visually encoded to tell the intended story. Document your design process, capturing the following:

What is the story the author is trying to tell?
What the data he/she is using to tell the story? Describe its details -- type of data, extent of the data, dimensions of the data, gaps in the data, what data is essential and what is irrelevant.
How is it encoded, problems with it and how you attempted to improve it.

You may choose to expand or curtail the scope of the data used in the story, or add an additional dataset to tell the story better. But do not deviate from the main intent of the original story. In other words, it is a redesign exercise, and hence I do not want you tell a different, unrelated story.

While you should provide a link to the original story, it might be useful to capture and display inline, appropriate parts of the original visualization, and your own design iterations to produce a coherent documentation.

For reference, take a look at what the previous batches (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023) did with this assignment. They worked on The Hindu Data Point articles which have become rather less challenging and increasingly harder to access.

In a flash, a changed world

https://www.reuters.com/graphics/WW2-ANNIVERSARY/HIROSHIMA/rlgpdnqljpo/

The article offers an overview of the Hiroshima atomic bombing and its role in raising global awareness of nuclear disarmament. It traces nuclear tests conducted from 1945 to 2019, providing data on which superpowers performed these tests, the number of tests per year, their intensity, and related treaties signed by nations. Key milestones in the history of nuclear testing are also highlighted, emphasizing international efforts to control and reduce the use of nuclear weapons.

Rationale for Redesign

The existing visualization effectively shows test intensity but makes tracking the timeline difficult due to its fragmented, scrollable format. The redesign adopts a sunburst visualization approach, offering a comprehensive view of the timeline and highlighting the nuclear activity of eight key nations.

Redesign Approach

The sunburst format visually represents how nuclear tests expand outward from the center, mimicking the spread of a bomb's impact. This design enables users to see the entire timeline at once while focusing on key information, such as the year-specific tests and the contribution of nuclear-powered nations.

Vaping Crisis in the US Potential for Redesign

Use a traditional US map or a cartogram instead of this simplified version in order to give viewers more clarity.

Use a different colour scheme for cases and deaths.

Add interactions to show how the weekly cases progress over the year.

Experiment with different grouping.

Try to show in only one graph.

Not sure if it's because of my internet connection, but this scrollytelling animation seems to glitch often.

Try to show in an isometric breakdown to make it look more interesting.

Using US map with numbers and colours instead of state names would be more effective.

How children starve

Original Article : https://www.reuters.com/graphics/ISRAEL-PALESTINIANS/GAZA-HUNGER/myvmakwxrvr/

What is the article about ? The Reuters article focuses on the growing food insecurity and malnutrition crisis in the world . It highlights how years of conflict, blockades, and economic collapse have pushed a significant portion of population into hunger and severe food shortages. The story is told through the lens of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

What the Reader Should Understand:

The scale and severity of the hunger and malnutrition crisis.
The long-term effects of the conflicts on basic human survival, particularly in terms of food and health.
The urgent need for international intervention and aid to address the growing humanitarian crisis in the region.
The human cost of the political and economic blockades, especially on vulnerable populations like children.

Types of Data Visualized

Food Insecurity Levels: Categorization of the population by their levels of food insecurity (mild, moderate, severe), potentially shown as stacked area charts or segmented visualizations.
Child Malnutrition Rates: Qualitative Data on the effects on children in Gaza suffering from malnutrition over time.

Ebola Epidemic-https://www.reuters.com/graphics/HEALTH-EBOLA-CONGO/010081G62NR/

.

Through this visualisation, the designer has attempted to communicate 2 distinct dimensions of the virus spread:

Reproduction number i.e. the number of people each patient goes on to infect (how fast the virus spreads)
Mortality rate i.e. percentage of infected population that die

In an attempt to emphasise how devastating Ebola is, the prominent visualisation is mortality rate. This however does not take in to account the rate of spread of the virus. The sample size used is 250, which makes it harder for people to read (167/250 vs. 67/100)

This can be improved through a more intuitive visualisation which takes into account the speed of the spread, which would give a more balanced view of the epidemic. . . .

This is the “ring vaccine strategy” in which the vaccine is administered only to the people most at risk- the people (directly or indirectly) in contact with a patient.

While it does effectively communicate how the strategy is meant to stop the spread of the virus, it also make it seem like the people vaccinated are only those who have been in direct contact with the patient, which is not the case. In reality it also includes people such as healthcare and frontline workers, extended family members and neighbours.

This visualisation can be improved by using imagery/iconography for households, families, neighbours, hospitals etc, which would reduce its overall read time. . . .

The objective of this visualisation is to show why it is difficult to track the cases of Ebola, as its zones has significant overlap with areas of militia conflict and population displacement.

The size of the circles does not denote the area of conflict, but the number of incidents. It also neglects the direction/trends of displacement, which would have helped in communicating the complexity of the situation.

How Trump has transformed refugee admissions https://www.reuters.com/graphics/USA-IMMIGRATION-REFUGEES/010080770F0/

The article provides a detailed analysis of how U.S. refugee admissions policies have changed under former President Donald Trump. It showcases the decrease in number of refugee admissions, particularly from Muslim countries, in the US over the years.

The purpose of this graph is to show that the Christian to Muslim refugee admission ratio is mostly Christian dominant in that year (2018). Here, the ratio between Muslim and Christian refugees is the key data point. Seeing the difference in ratios would allow for the viewer to easily compare the two types of refugees.

The type of chart the data has been mapped on makes it very difficult to compare the ratios and know what type of refugees are admitted more in which year.

The only way of knowing the ratio difference is looking at the actual number of refugees and mentally comparing the two. This renders the graph useless.

Recommendation- Ratios would be easier to understand if the start and end point of the bars were fixed and data was divided according to percentage of refugees.

The purpose of these tables is to show how the refugee program under trump is being impartial towards the Muslim population. However simply naming the countries does not impactfully drive the point across.

Here, the number of refugees is not being emphasized on. Iraq, Syria and Somalia all had around 6,000 refugees in 2017 and no longer make the list in 2018. The three replacement countries have the refugee numbers of around 2,000 which means the muslim countries have fallen drastically in number of refugees. The significance of these numbers has not been shown properly.

Recommendation - A connection map showing these countries on the globe with thickness of connection showing number of refugees. Showing a before and after through colour coding, to see the decline in Muslim refugee admissions over the years.
