DATA VISUALIZATION

My project will look at different types of data visualisations and determent, which is more

popular. It will take data from a Facebook group called ‘Information Aesthetics’ which is linked to

blog where people post links to their visualisations they have made. I will determine

which visualisation are the most popular by how many likes, comments and shares each of them

have. I will display the information I have found in a visualisation.

‘The next type of visualisation uses both writing and pictures to get the information across. This is a more common form of visualisation, we see this in our day-to-day lives. It is used for such things as maps, the weather, more complicated diagrams and to show trends’

‘The last type of data visualisation is used for artistic purposes. These tend to be pictures that use data to create them, even though looking at the end result it is not possible to tell that data was the reason for the artwork.’
