- https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/jun/05/theresa-may-police-cuts-margaret-thatcher-budgets
Colour Scheme:
- blue and red just to make the graphic clear and so readers can tell the difference.
- white background to make the details clear
Charts used:
- Line graph, to show the correlation between violence without injury and with injury in Kent and the increase.
- Pie chart, to show the percentage of crime in Kent that is violent.
- Bar chart, to show the decrease in police on the streets in Wales and England
Other details:
- Large font to make the stats clear
- Lines used to break up the page into segments to make thinks clear and less messy
Issues:
- The website I used didn’t save my first attempt.
- Had trouble creating graphs on the website.
