About the original

The values are fictional and subjective. This is a chart-design exercise, not analysis of the series.

01

Revise the same data repeatedly

Grid lines, ticks, labels, colours and emphasis were reconsidered one element at a time.

02

Remove before highlighting

Low-value elements were removed first, then only the target, key series and conclusion were brought back.

03

Use a subject I enjoy

A playful subject made it easier to continue through nineteen small rounds of revision.
