In an attempt to encode as much information on screen at the same time while using as many different kinds of scales and symbols, I have created this scatterplot masterpiece.
This scatterplot uses:
- Chernoff faces to encode a happiness rating of 1 to 100 (only the mouth encoding, with unhappy people frowning and happy people smiling but the rest of the features are slightly randomized so you don’t feel like people all look the same.)
- Superformula-based patterns to encode a fashion budget between $1-$1000+ per month (people who spend little on fashion wear polka dots)
- Category20b for industry to color the patterns
- Category20c for city of residence to color the t-shirt
- Colorbrewer Green-Yellow-Red (7-value range) based on quantiles of the exercise per day to color the faces
People placed on scatterplot by age and income.
Most of the data here is made up.
