Class: JOUR 7380 – Data Gathering and Visualization
Project: Map-based Visualization with Illustrations
Project Date: October 27, 2021
Project Description: For the second major project in my Data Gathering and Visualization, I was instructed to focus on creating content that related to a broad issue of geographic disparities. I had the freedom to choose a disparity of my interest and went with educational disparities. The final infographic was created with Adobe Illustrator. Specifics of the data visualization created included the following:
- 8.5 x 11 infographic
- a map used to convey information (choropleth, symbol, cartogram, or dot density)
- At least two original illustrations. These can be used as proportional symbols on your map, as markers on the map, in a secondary visualization to the side of your map, or simply as thematic decorative illustrations.
The project is attached below.
