representing data into an infographic

Dear children of God,

Looking at the three pictures above, one can tell that they wish to convey about typhoon Glenda. However, one can tell the stark difference how the three institutions represent their data into an infographic. The three pictures appeared in my newsfeed almost at the same time which made me appreciate the beauty of representing data properly. Let me discuss each picture.

Picture 1, in the leftmost, shows a tabulated provinces which are/will be affected by typhoon. The provinces were tabulated according to signals. By looking at the table, you cannot tell if your province is in the list. The list is also not in alphabetical order. You can't also tell when will the typhoon affect your location.


Picture 2, in the middle, depicts the strength of the typhoon and the path of the typhoon but unlike Picture 3, it adds an element of time so the reader can anticipate the coming of typhoon and the probability of typhoon's landing in a particular area.

Picture 1 is a total crap. Pictures 2 and 3 have the same representation except for the time element which makes Picture 3 outstanding among the three representations.
