(20 points) You are to find an interactive data visualization online. Your example can be from journalism or part of a brand’s content marketing or even part of a product like Mint or a home mortgage calculator; however, your example MUST collect some kind of user input to control, organize or sort data and must output a visualization (good places to start: NYTimes Interactives, NPR visuals).
You are to create a basic HTML file with headers, paragraphs, etc. presenting your example and explaining the following:
- A screenshot of the interactive
- A link to the interactive
- The input the interactive collects
- The output the interactive shows or delivers
- What “thinking” the program is doing
- What patterns, comparisons, trends, etc. the interactive is meant to demonstrate
- Describe any labels, legends and keys used in the visualization to demonstrate those patterns. How are they used? Why?
- How the interactivity enhances the story
- What important context is included and how
- What context is not included
You should host your HTML file on your iWeb account and add a URL to it to the course GitHub.
