Confusing Media Compensation Section - Brooks Hassig

I'm a little confused about the placement of data points and labels on either side of the Media Compensation chart. The labels do not seem to correlate to the data points' locations. For instance, a solo designer is labeled as making $52,000 in 2000 (or is that 1999?) but the placement of the data point indicates something closer to $82,000. Either I am not understanding this clearly, or there are some errors here.

I'm a student of Edward Tufte's work, so I feel compelled to mention a couple points on clarity. Dollar signs ($) would be useful to label things with. If the units where in inches, you would label each instance. Dollars are as much a unit, and should be labeled as such.

The large number labels are placed on the time series graph, instead of next to it, and could be mistaken as existing in time as an additional data point. Furthermore, these labels are connected to the beginning and ending data points with a line that is easily confused as part of the data series, which could skew a viewer's understanding of the series' trend. For instance, in the same chart, the trend for a Marketing or New Business Manager/Director appears to decline after 2010.

Graphic Design position - Scott

The infographic probably dosen't do the position justice from a financial perspective. The need for quality designers will continue to grow as will the salary accompanying it. We are constantly in need of great design experts at http://www.prestoreviews.com . Soon to be graduates should feel free to contact us too 708.720.3450. Chicago area.
