What do you see in the visualization (e.g. what are the axes, scale, visual elements, etc.)?

Research & Summaries

Find five different examples of data visualization. These can be from any source on any topic (sports data, political data, a mix of topics, etc.).

For each visualization, answer the following questions:

  • Who made this visualization?
  • What data did they use to make it?
  • What do you see in the visualization (e.g. what are the axes, scale, visual elements, etc.)?
  • What is the main argument the visualization is trying to make?
  • What information from the visualization makes you think that that is the argument?
  • In your opinion, is the visualization truthful? Why or why not?
  • How could you improve the visualization?

Submit your answers as either a word document or pdf. Your submission should consist of each visualization followed by your responses regarding that image.
