1. The race animation adds no information, but better communicates the idea that we're looking at a series of moments in time, each with its own history and emotional impact. Watching the lines race shows us what it would've felt like looking at this graph during each year. 2. The Chartjunk wiki cites Adolf Loos's idea "ornamentation is a crime". But I think we're done with modern minimalism and in the process of rediscovering the joy in ornamentation. This is an aesthetic choice and you may disagree. | ||
