This is a powerful visual representation. I would suggest that the impact could be even stronger if you provided side-by-side images of 50 Cent, where the second is scaled up proportionately.


If you scroll across it displays multiples of the image representative to the inflation at the time point.


Quick self nerd snipe:

I think the area should be scaled proportionally, so the new width and height should be multiplied by sqrt(cents/50)


If we're going to be pedantic about it, his name hasn't changed, so really he should be shrinking proportionally rather than growing over time


Agreed. Op needs to add a toggle for Shrinkflation Mode.


that’s a good idea. in future versions, i might need to consider multiple renderings as different economists likely prefer alternative visualizations of 50’s monetary adjustments
