Best Practices:
- Great title and use of color in the title so that a color legend is necessary
- Each chart title is perfectly worded; not too brief, not too long
- Love the labeling of the lines
- Including the value of the gaps at the start and end of the line so that the reader doesn't have to do the math in their head.
- Making the Blackpool line slightly thicker so that it stands out a touch more
- Good use of annotations
- Including key metrics that support the title and help explain the problem
- Minimal use of gridlines on all of the charts to keep it from looking too busy
Recommended Enhancements:
- Does the scale of the line chart (tall and skinny) over exaggerate the change?
