This bar chart has been flipped for a horizontal comparison. The bars are now striated and color-coded, so that quantities are easily tallied. The "total combined" column offers a secondary way to process quantities, as well.
Redesigning default charts from Tableau through:
1. Creating multi-level type hierarchy
2. Posing the title as a question to grab attention
3. Adding clarifying language to help explain the data
4. Color-coding type to sync with data
5. Flipping the bar chart for a horizontal read
6. Reordering the list, from alphabetic to quantitative (i.e. large to small)
