Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real.

Green and up means a gain, whereas orange and down means a loss. We’ve seen similar maps with arrows, but they’re usually angled or swooped. I guess I always assumed arrows going straight up and down would jumble together, but this seems to work.
