Want a custom version of this design? Send me a request.
Truncating the y-axis when visualizing data can often be misleading. When done with bar charts this is most probably intended, for line charts it can be okay if explained. This design consists of the question "Is it misleading to truncate the y-axis?" and a bar chart, that demonstrates the issue and gives a bold answer. The texts are printed in black and the bars in red and blue on a white background on different products, such as stickers, phone and tablet cases and laptop sleeves. For apparel such as shirts and hoodies different colors can be chosen.
