Women in the Workplace

My productive vacation is coming to a close and one of the things that I wanted to do but hadn't really gotten a chance to do was some viz work.  Enter me telling multiple folks that I just need to do a viz. The last viz I did was for Data Chain back in April.  Whomp whomp.  I've been uber busy. So, I went a searching for something that piqued my interest and that was easy.  I wanted production, not development.  Luckily, Andy's Makeover Monday has a plethora of topics for me to chose from and are tied up in a nice little bow so that I can start vizzing away.  So, for some Saturday afternoon fun, I picked Women in the Workplace Pipeline. Here's the original viz.

And here's my viz. I am having some issues saving to Tableau Public at the moment so for now, it's just an image. 

Here's a little peek into my thought process. 

For the viz itself...I created a couple of vizzes but I kept coming back to this one, so I thought, this one is the one that resonates with me, so I'll use it.

For the design...I chose to double-encode with color and shapes. I might go back and just make everything black. I used purple and blue for women and men, respectively because I wanted some kind of color but I'm tired of pink and blue.  I also used a light yellow background because light yellow reminds me of the legal notepads I use at work.  I used the font Copperplate Gothic Bold because it reminded me of corporate lettering.  I also re-ordered the positions so that entry-level was on the bottom and c-level was on the top. 

For the analysis...I just wanted to highlight the one point that stuck out to me (even though there was improvement in the ranks, c-level percentages didn't really change that much). 

I also played with it in the version 10 beta 4 to play with the device previewer.  So, here it is on a tablet and phone.  I still need to play around with it because obviously, the annotation isn't really readable on the phone. But I am LOVING this functionality.
