What is a Line? - Complex Infographics


NY Times - India & Pakistan. Available at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/blprnt/3362941433/in/photostream/

"This graph charts the frequency of articles mentioning India and Pakistan in the NYT between 1981 and 2009. It also indicates weighting of stories - the darkest line shows front page stories while the lighter lines indicate stories buried deeper in the paper."

The limited colour scheme focuses your attention moreso on the data itself. Although it seems complex at first glance, the only text displayed are the years and the data is represented through different weighting and heights of the lines. As you can see, 2001-02 consisted of the most articles relating to Pakistan due to the increase in height whereas 1985 was most prominent for articles mentioning India.
