Good Example: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/mapped-the-wealthiest-billionaire-in-each-u-s-state-in-2022/
In this data set for “The Wealthiest Billionaire in Each U.S. State in 2022”, the data visualization has a map of the US and has the wealthiest person for each state. In the top of the visualization, there is a very descriptive key that makes it very easy to understand what the data is telling you and makes it easy for the viewer to make inferences about the data as well.
Bad Example: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/ranked-the-most-and-least-livable-cities-in-2022/
In this data set for “The Most and Least Livable Cities in 2022”, the visualization itself of the data is not horrible but to really understand what the data means and how the viewer can interpret the data is a lot more difficult in this data visualization. I think something to add to improve this visualization is to improve the key that is at the top right. Unlike the first data visualization that I chose, this key does not really help the viewer to understand what the numbers actually mean and except for the two colors saying the city is good or bad.
Good Data Visualization: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/explainer-what-to-know-about-monkeypox/
This is a good visualization becuase it states what monkeypox is and shows information on where it comes from. In addition, it gives a visualization on how monkeypox may look like on the human body.

Bad visualization- https://www.visualcapitalist.com/evolution-of-media-data-future/ i would call this one.a bad one because there is too much going on and it can be confusing
good visualization – https://www.visualcapitalist.com/the-data-behind-americas-h-1b-visa-program/ i would call this one good because its a very basic model and makes the findings very clear
