This is for my statistics final project of sorts. Basically we have to make a survey of our own and the topic my group wanted to do was... to see if a person's favorite color determines their personality.

So each small bar represents one person and the color that they chose to be their favorite color, lined up with the personality that they chose to most closely represent them. I want to try to keep the elaborations to a minimum because I want to see if a fresh set of eyes looking at it for the first time would understand it without any explanations.

This is awesome!!! I really don't have much to say, except for suggesting that you try to use less color in the petals/sky to emphasize the small bar colors in your graph. I was a overwhelmed at first. But this is so cool. Props to you!

I agree. Make it a little more functional.
I think you should make a...a...those things on maps. Like to mak it easier to read, so you dont have to tilt your head, put like a brown box and do equals and the percentage there.

The only thing I think you should change is the font for the black text, except the text for the stem it's big enough to be readable.

Interesting. I like the idea of putting the bars on flower petals.

It looks fantastic, as usual. I kinda agree about the font being hard to read, though. I mean, I could pretty much figure out what everything says, just not instantly.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll bring the font size up a few points.

Everyone understood the data though right?

Oh my gosh this is such a cute idea! I like it a lot. But yeah the only thing I would change is the font to make it easier on the eyes. But great job! :D

Better, but the black words on the petals crowd the design. I say keep the number, but don't include the same text over and over. Rather create a key somewhere in the design that explains what the numbers mean. That's just my opinion. Otherwise, it looks really good. I love the colors.

It looks great as usual, but it's still a bit hard to instantly read the data as Gabi (schizo) mentioned. Otherwise, excellent job! thumbsup.gif

It looks crowded, imo. I think I liked your first version better because the text warp or whatever it's called looked cool.

I think maybe if the white text was justified it would look a little more neater.

I think it's great. Is everyone in the class making theirs as fancy? lol I don't think I would ever spend that much time on something for a statics class.

Nah, it's just me, because I'm not good at math and I didn't learn any statistics for the entire year because I'm always sleeping, I just thought I overdo the visuals since I didn't want to be the dead weight in my group. Plus I'm hoping for the extra credit since I need that too :P (horrible student).

It's funny the mixed responses I'm getting. Over at the Graphic Design Forum I get a lot of negative critiques but over here I get positive responses. I wonder if its just the demography of the two boards...

What kind of things are they saying? It's probably different here because most of us aren't extremely stuffy art aficionados. I see the site as mostly a place for people to learn, so insignificant details and all that jazz don't matter much....if that makes sense.

The graphic you just posted looks fantastic, by the way.
