Dataviz Horror Story: Annabelle Rincon

A network graph representing connections between various entities, which are depicted as triangles of different colors. The triangles are connected by numerous blue lines indicating relationships or interactions between the entities. The colors and sizes of the triangles seem to represent different groups and their significance, with a legend on the left side: Blue triangles represent entities with values greater than 8K. Yellow triangles represent entities with values between 7K and 8K. Red triangles represent entities with values between 6K and 7K. The graph is highly interconnected, suggesting a complex web of relationships among the entities, each labeled with a unique identifier.H

A series of eight colorful, stacked bar charts arranged in two rows, each chart representing different groups within a hierarchy labeled as "g.RMY," "g.RMO," "g.RWY," "g.RWO," "g.DMY," "g.DMO," "g.DWY," and "g.DWO." Each graph plots the distribution of support levels (x-axis, ranging from 0.0 to 1.0) for various items or policies labeled from Q12_A to Q12_P, depicted in multiple colors from blue at the top to green at the bottom. The y-axis represents the inverse logit of confidence interval, varying across charts from 50 to 250. These visualizations are intended to show the confidence in support levels for each item across different demographic or focus groups, with each bar representing the level of support for a specific policy or opinion.P
