Best Practices:
- The layout is excellent for walking you through the story. It reads clearly from top to bottom and left to right.
- The stacked bars work well and make the comparison easy.
- The lollipop charts are all based on the same scale, so you can actually compare any of them.
- Bolding the keywords emphasizes the topic.
- They resisted adding color; gray scale is perfectly fine. Color isn't always necessary.
Recommended Enhancements:
- Why the gray background?
- I don't like CAPITALIZATION everywhere; my preference is proper case.
- I don't like how the first letter of each word in the title is capitalized. If you want to capitalize the title, words like "with" and "the" shouldn't be capitalized. Here's a great set of rules.
