While dong redesign project I had chance to explore Eurostat-a Directorate-General of the European Commission. Among the various visualization tools, I specifically like inflation dashboard tool that they are using for EU inflation rate.
Here are the four features that I like about this tool.
- Be able to simultaneously choose two line charts, a bar chart and a map
The four charts show the overall and specific EU member states’ inflation information. The four tables are interactively changing based on what information users want to read.
- Choose three simple light colors
The main three colors they choose are very light and simple. The colors are eye friendly and also distinguishable enough for readers to get specific information at the first glance.
- Be able to read the individual stories by time range
Readers can choose the time range they want focus and the duration of display so that the website will play the inflation trend automatically.
The tool also allows readers to view data as map, chart or table.
It is a good visualization for governments or companies and individuals to think about when it comes to present a time based interactive inflation visualization.
