Data Visualization

 VIDEO NOTES:

1. Be careful with what you write and what information you have.
2. Put yourself in the readers shoes and try to see their pov and their own assumptions NOT yours.
3. what you inform and if it's reliable/ true.

DATA VISUALIZATION:

• Trash or Recycling? Why Plastic Keeps Us Guessing: There's a women holding a bunch of plastic bottles and a beach ball, they tell us to be good consumers yet the companies still put the product in plastic bottles and we also need the product. It's not only the citizens but also the companies.
• The Women Who Had Abortions Before Roe v. Wade: They write down a quote for each woman they are going to write about. The quote is about abortion and what they think of it. 
• A Vivid View of Extreme Weather: Temperature Records in the U.S. in 2021: They use a different color to show the difference so it's easier for the reader to know who is who or what is what. The orange is heat and blue is cold. they use maps and graphs to show where and the different amount.

        This helped me to get ideas of how I want my social justice to look like, work like, and to be careful with what I write. I have to make it true and reliable. I can also use quotes and many examples such as images and graphics. It also helped me to try to see the point of view as a reader and what they are going to take from in. I also learned a few things from what I read in the visual stories. I also saw pretty cool animations and the way some visual stories worked while you slide down. Some pictures and example disappear or fade way when you scroll down which I found really cool. I also saw how they would combine fonts and combine colors. They give a lot of personality to the visual stories, it could look luxury, serious, scary, friendly, romantic, simple, etc. I would mine to look friendly and a peaceful mood. Most of the visual stories used some small paragraphs or sentences to explain what the example, picture, or graphic meant on the side. This makes it easy for the reader and audience to obtain the content much better, faster and simpler.
