The data is interesting, but somewhat difficult to draw conclusions from without considering how different rates are impacting other rates. What is really noteworthy here is the approach to showing the data. Its effortless to scroll through.

Here are some things I noticed after the fact:

1. I naturally wanted to finish the presentation and was compelled to click to see if there were any amazing insights.

2. After the fact, I have no idea how I even advanced the presentation, all I knew was that I clicked something. It was 100% natural.

It fully pulled me in. I can't remember if there were ads on the sides or more information.

[added] I went back and looked at it again and I think what made it so flawless is that the first page gave me no option but to click the right hand arrow which taught me what to look for. I clicked the right arrow, and then I knew to click it again to advance. The progress dots on the top let me know that I didn't have much time left. Really amazing work here.



Agreed the data is interesting and the UI is pretty slick. I found the graphs to be poorly designed, both in terms of y-axis labeling and transitions (sometimes it's %, sometimes deaths/100,000, etc.), as well as things like labels.

In some cases, the findings in the text don't seem to be reflected in the graphs.


My thoughts exactly. The axis labeling could have used some units, and for me, the colors were too similar to differentiate and pair up with the key at the bottom. The data seemed interesting, but these issues kept me from fully appreciating the data.


It doesn't really solve the problem of similar colors, but clicking on the legend entries highlights the data on the graph.


Interesting. That's helpful. For some reason I wasn't seeing that behavior on my ancient FF that I use at work. Thanks!


You can click the key at the bottom to dim other things, and light up only one that interests you.
