This is a really great exposition on an
infographic. Note that the design elements and “chart junk” serve
to better connect and communicate the data to the viewer. The

circular elements are more pleasing in their infographics. This
bias toward circular representations is sometimes justifiable.
After all, if your graphic is pretty then no one will take the time
to look at it.
