Intention

The point of this infographic was the emphasize how we look at numbers and statistics.  Specifically, the fact that while data can be entirely accurate, with no manipulations in the minutiae, it can still be represented in such a way that exaggerates the numbers.  In this case, I wanted to exaggerate the death rates of various demographics in the U.S. My goal was the present the actual data correctly in circles, which, when looked at, seems like a large amount -a total of 2,563, 706 people died in 2013, which is a lot of people, and the numbers in each demographic is quite accurate.  However, when comparing the actual percentages, only about .8% of the total U.S. population died in 2013, and each demographic had about 1% of people dead (in the first graph, anyways).  So I really wanted to show how relativity in data can be skewed towards a bias.  Since I don't actually show how many people, especially in the first graph, are of a specific demographic, it seems as if a lot more people die than in reality.
