This project visualizes packaging waste statistics and illustrates the materials’ recycle rate during recent six years. Despite the fact that the number of recycling programs and initiatives is constantly rising, the current recycling rate is still about 25%. The major graph represents the cumulative packaging waste against the population of the country.
This type of visualization also allows to compare across different details. The visualization on the map allows to illustrate the waste against the country's acreage. Colors that represent countries in the major graph are similar to representation of this piece. Pink tag lines point reader's attention to an interesting facts, while the type below them explains the issue a bit deeper.
The bottom graph breaks down the cumulative waste to a categories, explaining the most common group to be a paper and cardboard.
Earlier versions allow you to see the development process and the little details which show the excellence of this project.

A final version shows the complete representation of the packaging waste trends in European countries. The hierarchy is obvious and elements are cohesive. Tag lines point reader's attention to an interesting facts, while the explanation below describes the issue deeper.
Second version has looks more like a final piece, however, it lacks some fine tuning to create an obvious elements' cohesiveness. The darker color on the map dominantes the front panel. The bottom graph has too much detailed information that is deceiving from a single important finding: a common trend of wasteful packaging.

First version has the major graphs in place, but feels like there are two different graphs put together. It has lots of detailed explanation with not obvious hierarchy.
