Since the official site of Kate Spade does not provide the data of discount percentage for obvious reasons, I had to type in every price myself. I used Excel to create a form and then type in the original price and discounted price of every object. Fortunately there were only sightly over 100 objects so it didn't take me too long. Then I created a histogram to show the discount percentage. There were several forms of histogram, I tried them all and picked the neatest one, which I think can help viewers focus more on the data itself rather than the how it is represented (Just like Tufte mentioned in his article).
The data I typed in was in random order, at first I tried to range them in descending order, but then I realized that makes the histogram too straightforward. By creating a randomized histogram, I feel like viewers are more likely to focus on the data that stands out (like those items that is actually more than 70% off). In this way, viewers will be more convince that the sale is actually 70% off.
