Published

on

Here at Chartistry, we are big fans of Star Wars! I personally grew up spending many joyous hours watching the movies and playing the video games (shout out to the recent announcement of a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake in the works!). So when I found these simple but fascinating charts breaking down character screen times in each of the Star Wars films, I was thrilled. It was created by Reddit user –TheForce– , who has an abundance of incredible Star Wars visualizations, theories, behind-the-scenes knowledge, and memes on his profile. Which characters are featured the most in the Star Wars films? Look no further than these incredible Star Wars character screen time charts below.

Of course, Luke Skywalker is the star of the show in the first three films. However, I was surprised that he was only on screen for 37:30 minutes in Star Wars IV: A New Hope, or 31% of the film’s total time. It makes you realize just how many scenes involve awe-inspiring space battles and sweeping scenery. These charts also showcase just how little time is needed to create iconic, larger-than-life characters. For example, Yoda only has 16:30 minutes in the entire original trilogy, yet he continues to resonate throughout the franchise and beyond with his ancient wisdom and profound power. There is no doubt that his character, and other Star Wars characters, have become timeless legends that will continue to influence science fiction, storytelling, and culture for generations to come.

Where to Find the Worst Roads in America

Published

on

Nothing ruins a nice drive quite like hitting a large pothole in the road and then having to wonder if you’re going to have to shell out a lot of money to fix your car’s tire. These large craters, and other cracks in the road can be a common site after a winter season of freezing temps; but which parts of the U.S. seem to have the most roads in the worst condition all year round? Thanks to this chart created by Teletrac Navman, you can identify the cities with the worst roads in America.

The chart ranks 77 of the biggest urban areas in the U.S. on the condition of their roads. The road conditions in each area have been rated by the Federal Highway Administration as good, fair, mediocre, or poor based on a pavement smoothness measurement that is calculated annually. The roads that are rated as ‘Good’ are those that are new or nearly new, offer a smooth ride, are distress-free, and have minimal cracks and patches. On the other end of the spectrum the roads that are rated as ‘Poor’ were found to be extremely deteriorated roadways, roads that can only be driven on at a reduced speed; and roads with large potholes, deep cracks, and other signs of distress that cover 50-75% of the roadway. Having to drive on a road where 75% of it is in disarray and difficult to maneuver would add quite a lot of time to your drive! Not to mention the increase in car repair bills as the tires and suspension will wear down quicker. Check out the chart below to see which U.S. cities have the best roads to drive on, and which cities you should be extra cautious driving in!

The Most Popular Sport in Every Country Around the World

Published

Sports are a universally beloved source of entertainment and pride across the globe. How many sports fans are there in the world? While it is hard to quantify just how many people are sports fans, one indicator of just how prevalent sports are in society is (how many people viewed the 2022 World Cup)! FIFA reported that an impressive 1.5 billion people tuned in to watch the final live. That’s around 20% of the world population! So what is the most popular sport in the world? You guessed it – soccer! Or association football as the majority of the world calls it. The team at AAAStateofPlay has created this fun, bold visualization of the most popular sport in every country across the globe. Let the games begin!

I absolutely love the header! It’s unique, dynamic, and vibrant! The world map is informative, but my favorite part of this chart is the second visualization. I am not sure what this type of data viz is called – please let me know in the comments if you know! It really helps to convey just how much association football (soccer) dominates the world, but it also gives cricket, baseball, rugby, and basketball opportunities to shine. I want to visit Anguilla and witness boat racing at its finest – it is the country’s official national sport, after all! Cricket is the second most popular sport in the world, which makes me wonder – is America missing out? We should start a petition to bring cricket to the United States!

How Colors Are Used in Cultures Around the World

Published

on

Color has the power to evoke a kaleidoscope of different emotions and concepts. The message or symbolism conveyed by a color often varies across cultures, although some are almost universally believed to encompass a certain idea or feeling. For example, red is often associated with passion and black is the epitome of evil or grief. However, there can be vastly different interpretations of color around the world, which is just so intriguing to me! The founder of Information is Beautiful, David McCandless, has created this beautiful circular design called “Colours in Culture”, which showcases how colors are linked to different concepts and sentiments across cultures.

What an absolutely compelling yet simple way to visualize this information! What cultural color “conundrums” stand out to you? There are a few concepts that have a wide range of colors, such as love. According to this, love is represented by red in Western, Japanese, and Asian culture, green in Hindu culture, yellow in Native American culture, and blue in African culture. What color do you associate love with the most? Death is another intriguing one. It is associated with black in Western, Japanese, and Native American culture, and white in Hindu and Chinese cultures. In Arab culture, death is silver, but here is the real curiosity – South Americans associate death with green! I looked into it further and found that while that is true for many Latin countries, green is the national color of Mexico and considered patriotic, so it is important to do further investigation before flexing your cultural color wheel knowledge!

All in all, I am in love with this idea for a visualization and the execution is stunning! One tiny critique would be to have the lines continue all around because I did struggle a bit with lining up the color blocks to the cultures.
