I don't think we need to bend over backwards to avoid any kind of criticism of this project. It's clearly a personal passion project and nobody is saying it is less than "fine". I guess it's an American norm to be very circumspect about any kind of negative appraisal.

It takes time and training to pull off design like this, and while it might work as a fun infographic, it is not as polished or beautiful as it could be. There is room for improvement.

As far as the "graphic design POV" goes, that involves intuitive assessments of things like negative space, colour, and density of graphic elements and text. It involves things like the five Gestalt principles, or the CARP principles, although these are not prescriptions that anyone can follow. They're more like rationalisations of what has been found to work.
