As haohao said, more data would make for more interesting lines. Also, since the data should add up to 100%, maybe use a stack graph? Don’t use straight lines. I would also try to experiment with pivoting the data; show evolution over time of a single trend (in multiple graphs). Merge a bunch of low percent items into “other” to clean up.

Just ideas, making a great looking graph is mostly art.
