Cumberlands Data Visualization Forensic Design Assessment Discussion

I need 2 different Documents as one is for the discussion and the other one is for Assignment and both should be STRICTLY PLAGIARISM FREE.

DISCUSSION TOPIC:

Discussion Length (word count): At least 500 words (not including direct quotes).

Annotation is a crucial component of a good dataviz. It can turn a boring graphic into an interesting and insightful way to convey information. Dataviz is often separated in two main types: exploratory and explanatory analysis. Annotation is used for the second type.

Our current attention span for looking at things online is, on average, less than five seconds. So if you can’t grab someone’s attention within five seconds, you’ve likely lost your viewer. Adding accurate annotation can greatly help to grab audience attention. Use keywords, shapes, colors and other visuals to help them go straight to the point.

Annotation is a general concept, and hundreds of different ways to annotate a chart exist, depending on the context.

What are effective ways to leverage annotation in data visualizations? Provide 3 examples of how you would effectively use annotation in a data visualization. Describe how you would use them to keep viewers’ attention.

References: At least two peer-reviewed, scholarly journal references.

FORENSIC DESIGN ASSESSMENTS

This task relates to a sequence of assessments that will be repeated across Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Select any example of a visualisation or infographic, maybe your own work or that of others. The task is to undertake a deep, detailed ‘forensic’ like assessment of the design choices made across each of the five layers of the chosen visualisation’s anatomy. In each case your assessment is only concerned with one design layer at a time.

For this task, take a close look at the annotation choices:

1. Start by identifying all the annotation features deployed, listing them under the headers of either project or chart annotation
2. How suitable are the choices and deployment of these annotation features? If they are not, what do you think they should have been?
3. Go through the set of ‘Influencing factors’ from the latter section of the book’s chapter to help shape your assessment and to possibly inform how you might tackle this design layer differently
4. Also, considering the range of potential annotation features, what would you do differently or additionally?

References: At least two peer-reviewed, scholarly journal references.
