The person who created this visualization, collected this data grabbing all the lyrics from Genius and just doing a CTRL+F. She created this chart in Google Sheets. To complete the data chart, she grabbed some “Eras Tour” colors from Pinterest.
The visualization shows the total number of albums by displaying them side by side. In total, there are 11 albums. This list also shows the specific curse words said in each album. They demonstrate by utilizing a specific color for each swear word. Finally, the numbers on the left indicate how many swear words are said in total in each album.
I would change this visualization by adjusting the color palette, improving readability, streamlining the design, and offering context. First, I’d use fewer colors and raise the brightness to make different swear phrases easier to recognize. Second, Id increase the font size of record titles and swear word counts to improve visibility. Third, I’d delete unneeded features such as the gray the background and extra gridlines to decrease visual clutter. Finally, i’d include a clear title or caption that explains the visualization’s aim, as well as a description that clarifies the color-coding of swear words. These changes will improve the visualization’s in a much more efficient way.
