Final Project

The final project was one of the most tedious task to date. We decided to work on project 3, which we initially thought it would be a beauty product company based on the sharing the tutor and client gave but would later find out that it was Vodafone...

After much trial and error, we have decided on looking at how timelines affected the different locations. And as a case study, we decided to look at brand UK. We found that it basically had the lowest fan growth, with relatively low fan engagement rate and had a closed time line.

We went on to look more in depth on how fan growth and engagement rates fared among those with open timelines. We then compared the open timelines to the closed timelines. We came to a conclusion that even though fan growth may not be totally affected by having a closed timeline, it is still good to have the timelines open to better engage the customers in the non-tangible ways.

Assignment 3

Assignment 3 was on the review of 3 different visualization tools from a massive list.
From there, I decided to focus on 3 different tools, mainly, Microsoft Excel, Google Fusion Eyes and IBM Many Eyes.

Each tool had its pro and cons.

However, my choice tool was Microsoft Excel. To summarize, it was because of one word.
Simplicity.

Microsoft Excel may not create the most flamboyant of all visualizations. BUT. It gets the basic job done. It forms the base for import to most other visualization tools. It allows a user to quickly make changes to the visualizations and create an expected view from other tools to portray. Any outliers are easily spotted and easily captured.

Assignment 2

In this assignment, we were tasked with using the world university rankings to come up with a suitable data visualization to match. I thought of several ideas that were more out of the box such as the number of bars near the top 10 school, Most expensive to results/ job earning/number of graduates, Top design schools, Top nursing schools, Number of undergrads who go to graduate school, Rank universities with the longest name, Oldest universities, Cheapest universities, Alcohol consumption to uni ranking, most dangerous colleges.

So here is a draft:

Assignment 1

In Assignment 1, we take a look at : http://www.datavis.ca/milestones/ for some historical milestones. We see the development of technology and its different locations. I have taken another view and gone on to do more research. From the growth of technology, I decided to branch out and check out the growth and improvement of the Apple iPod. Here is the first draft:

Class Post 1

What does this visualization try to say?
This data visualization website aims to show the top news feeds that are being shared on social media, news feeds, blogs and news articles. They help to differentiate the noise from the trending topics.

As a result, there are lists of visualizations to show the different trending topics for the day.
