Hi /u/noahsbun, Please take this as admiring feedback, instead of pedantic criticism. I've commented on some of your work before, and overall I think your work is good. However, I think you rely too much on tables, while your design sense seems to indicate you can create much better data visualization. Your color choices, object weight/emphasis, and clean aesthetic couple well with your data interests and general sense of humor (which comes through in your designs).

Take this graphic and data for example: you have data that directly correlates to parts of the court, and not too many data points that might overwhelm the graphic or distract your audience. Here's my feedback for this graphic.

• Shift the viewer's perspective to an isometric court view
• (Keep the Beirut cup—ha!)
• Designate a specific place on the court for each data set (3%, FG%, FT%)
• Designate a specific color for Season v. January 1 shot arcs
• Make the text for each data set contiguous with the shot arc it displays
• Display your "difference" data contiguous with each data set pair

I also highly recommend the following book, and books/lectures by Edward Tufte. http://www.amazon.com/Learning-Design-William-Horton/dp/0470900024

I project manage a team that creates similar content for a Fortune 5 company. As a member of the hiring team, work like yours would really stand out in a portfolio, but ultimately might get a pass because of the reliance on tables. Tables should be on the second page of a report. If your design is good enough, I never have to turn to page two. Good luck as you create more content like this for r/nba. You seem to have a lot of natural talent, and I look forward to seeing what you create next!
