Misleading Visuals

Misleading visuals are graphics or images that exaggerate, downplay, or distort information to influence perception. They can include scales, illustrations, or charts that intentionally or unintentionally give a false impression of the data. For example, altering the axis of a graph to make differences seem more significant or using images that suggest a false comparison. These visuals can deceive viewers by persuading them to draw incorrect conclusions, so it's important to critically evaluate how information is presented visually and consider the underlying data.
