# Design comparisons (/docs/guides/design-comparisons)

> Paired "Not ideal → Better" charts for common design choices, drawn live by VisDelta with its own advisory warnings and runnable code.

Each pair tells one illustrative story in two forms. The left chart is a
reasonable-looking choice that makes the reader's task harder; the right chart
answers the same question more directly. Both are real VisDelta states, and the
hints under each chart are the [visualization warnings](/docs/guides/warnings)
VisDelta reports for it.

The guidance is paraphrased from the linked Datawrapper Academy articles. These
are contextual choices, not automatic validity rules: VisDelta still renders
every chart on this page.
