Venmathi,
I like the principles you selected for this analysis. I feel that Gestalt Laws are revealing since correlation is often 'good enough' for some of the types of analysis we take on as data scientists. When data are no longer correlated or are newly correlated, we are drawn to find out 'why.' Rosling's talk inspired many similar time series animations, including an internal request (back when I first started working in finance as a software engineer) to recreate this (http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2009/07/02/business/economy/20090705-cycles-graphic.html) with slightly different data.
I also took in much from the Few readings. It is great to have these principles and laws as we work through the first assignment and leverage tools like plot.ly (https://plot.ly/python/) to build out our assignment product. The higher level visualization concepts that were covered in Good Charts particularly resonated with my 'strategic planner' mindset. Great work!
