Small Project Assignment

The goal is to implement a small visualization in regards to the work you have done for the previous assignments (your research questions and sketches).

What do do

For this assignment I want to you to start implementing a custom visualization for your project - this can follow the tool you have proposed in your last sketches or, if you have gotten new inspiration, you can also choose another representation. The visualization should include appropriate visual variables, labels, and necessary references structures so others can interpret it. Whatever you implement (e.g. a P5 sketch) should be embedded on a website and this website should have a good title and include a short (!) description of WHAT the visualizations shows, WHY we should care about it, and HOW to read the visualization. Don't add your name on the sketch unless you don't mind others seeing it.

You do not yet have to implement interaction - this will be part of a later assignment -- but make sure that your visualization starts up showing some interesting data.

In addition create a .txt file in which you tell me how each team member contributed to the project.

Submitting the Assignment

WHAT - Upload your visualization (vis+website) to your personal webspace. If you don't have a personal webspace somewhere, then contact me to find a solution (typically each university gives students some free webspace). Make sure your visualizations runs from your webspace. Use the group chat that I created on Slack for each team and upload the following files:

  1. A .txt file in which you tell me how each team member contributed to the project
  2. A high-res screenshot of your current vis (1000px minimum per side) - this screenshot should look identical to the VIS you put online.

WHERE - Upload via Slack and on your personal webspace

WHEN - The assignment is due before end of the day Monday, January 6.

Of course, until I have sent the grades for this assignment make sure that your vis stays available online.
