As if to prove that not all infographics are ‘a good thing’, a project from Meredith Kresge takes some rather dull and boring information about energy consumption & pricing in Mississippi and Alabama and makes it look more interesting than it really is with some hexagonal bar charts.
The assignment was to create an eye-catching way to show hideous amounts of terribly mundane information. The final product ended up being clusters of polygons. They’re essentially proportional bar graphs so they visually show the contrast in amount between the states of Mississippi and Alabama.
As a resident myself, I have to agree it’s pretty dull. But I am surprised to see how Alabama is beating Mississippi in almost everything (good and bad). “More” Economy (I can’t read what the bars actually mean), higher price of electricity, more consumption.
Fullsize after the break.
