New Year's Card - Life expectancy

Full Screen

The D3.js code that I used as the base for the Life Expectancy New Year’s card that I designed. You can see the end result of all 4 cards and read about the design process in my blog Saying “Happy new year” with data

You can find the design of the two other cards here
