This graphic was an assignment for my information design class at UC Davis. In that class, we had previously learned about the rose diagram designed by Florence Nightingale from 1858-59.

 

For this particular assignment, we were given a table with various cancer percentages of women from 2007 (shown in second picture). We were assigned to create a visual graphic to represent that data. I decided that creating a rose diagram would be visually interesting, and would portray the information successfully. I calculated the correct diameter for each slice to correctly represent the data, and wrote the copy using plain language to appeal to a wide audience.
