The same two line charts showing a facetious data set of butternut squash data which hovers around 210K from 2018 to 2022 then sees a drop from 2023 to 2024 down to around 130K then returning to previous levels. The second chart gives viewers hints that the axis doesn’t start at zero by placing additional space below the data, removing the baseline, and adding a broken axis symbol to the y-axis.
Before and after visuals of data using a bar chart to compare 70+ values vs using a dot plot to compare those same visuals.

A screenshot of the tool with 'sample visuals' selected. Four charts show at the bottom, a chorpleth map, an area chart, a chord diagram, and a stacked bar, each using the resulting colour palette.
A screenshot of the tool with 'contrast ratios' button selected. Below the larger colour swatches are four rows of smaller swatches showing contrast ratios against white, the lightest colour, the darkest colour, and black. Three icons show next to the ratio. A circle with a check - above 4.5, good A diamond with an asterisk - above 3, good for headlines and icons but not body text A warning triang - below 3, fails accesibility standards
A screenshot of the colour tool showing a red, yellow, and green as input. The output shows the interpolated colours bigger in the top row, then three smaller rows below simulating deutan, protan, and tritan forms of colour blindness. Warning triangles show on some of the colour that are particularly concerning as being too similar
image of the colour tool with 'dodgerblue' as the only input. The output shows 11 colour swatches all different shades of blue from light to dark
