A version of my Groupon visualization appears in the latest Harvard Business Review. At the suggestion of their editorial and design staff, I re-did the visualization to focus on a smaller subset of the data: deals in San Francisco.
I must give the HBR staff a lot of credit for the final product — they made a visualization designed to be interactive work in print. I also created an interactive version for their website.
that’s pretty darn cool. the visualization sure, but I mean appearing in HBR.
Totally cool visualization.
Question:
How are the boxes ordered? I am guessing, by gross revenue, but how did you decide whether to order the wider boxes on the bottom and to the right and the tall skinnier ones to the left and at the top?
Thanks,
Elliot
Nice going, appearing in HBR is impressive. I do think, however, visualizations of a larger set of data would be more informative. Very good graphics, used R again?
P.S. I did laugh when they mentioned ”data scientist Paul Butler”, they made you sound like a stooping old man in front of a nuclear-powered PC.
