All in a nice colour of shit.
I like this one. Simple and illustrative with a design that reads nicely top-to-bottom. It tries to say nothing more and nothing less than what the data do.
If I had to give a *possible* note for possible improvement to design, it’s that there is maybe a lot of empty space in the bars that could be utilized for a second version. An interesting use would be a color-coded indication of when and in what capacity the various people started their political/executive career; so one color for military officer, another for state office, another for multinational executive, etc. It may end up being too distracting from the basic concept though, or add a tiny bit of subjectivity.
And even though the data is widely available, I would still strongly recommend putting date of creation and data source(s) on the graphic itself. Overall, good job.
Interesting plot. now make it beautiful. Start with a color pallet.labelling looks sloppy overall. You dont have to show who died in office with a new color. Our eyes can see when the bold bar hits the end of their life….That’s a start. Have a go at it.
