Inspirational graphics
We are currently working on an element in Hubdub which involves presenting news items linked to a chart showing price over time. The New York Times is a master at this and I thought I’d share a couple of great examples. The first example is Enron:
It is a really data rich graphic. Edward Tufte, the design guru, made it his ‘graphic of the day’ and gave a nice write up here.
The second example is from a recent article in the NYT on match fixing in tennis (how come it always malfeasance that generates nice charts?). Here they have show the news flow against Betfair’s odds on the match:
Article here.
Really nice chart however there is a problem: The odds are really confusing. Even the interpretation gets them wrong on the chart. In the second box, Arguello isn’t the 1 to 7 favorite he is the 1.70 favorite which means a $1 bet would win 70 cents (1 to 7 would mean you would win 14 cents). Also most people are used to thinking when the graph goes up it is ‘good’. However here it is bad. Davydenko’s odds lengthen which means the market thinks he is less likely to win. Very confusing isn’t it?
That’s why at Hubdub we are pooling our collective brainpower to come up with a simple intuitive chart that relates price information and news flow on one page. Here is the design, let us know what you think
