HAPPY PLANET INDEX, THE GUARDIAN, 2009HAPPY PLANET INDEX, THE GUARDIAN, 2009

BREIF: Represent five different of ranking the G20 countries. 

ANALYSIS: Recently I've been using this set of colours to get over the problem of a trying to show 20 or more different figures, each with their own colour (See QUANTITATIVE EASING). This graphic is a little different because I could have just chosen two colors, one for the UK and one for the rest of the world, I didn't as this was more of a light hearted article and I thought the use of colours was more appropriated. 
As always space is the issue and in the end the paper only used GDP and happiness rankings.
