Module # 1 First Assignment

The visual analytics that first caught my eye was the Florida coronavirus visual dashboard. This is because this dashboard takes the complicated information about the coronavirus and makes it simple so that the average person can read it and understand what it is saying. If the governor were to release the raw document with only the numbers, it would be harder to get the information across. This dashboard includes the data, which is the number of people who are currently affected by covid. The visualization of what areas are most affected on the map of Florida and the graphs showing the number of deaths and new cases. This helps people gain knowledge about the coronavirus in Florida. Overall this visual does a great job of introducing new information in a simple form.

Module # 9 Visual multivariate

For this visualization, I decided to use the dataset iris to see how the sepal length and with correlates to the petal length. I decided to make the color be based on the species so that we could easily tell the difference between the irises. This visualization shows that the smaller the petal length, typically the wider the sepal with and the shorter the sepal length. We can also see that this is a characteristic of the setosa iris. We can also see that the opposite occurs with the other irises versicolor and virginca where the sepal length and petal length is longer, but the sepal width is usually shorter.  I decided to use ggplot2 to create this visualization. This is one of the best ways to show visual multivariate graphs because of how simple the graph is. The design is aligned as it is sharp, has repetition as it is consistent, has good contrast with the species defining the color, proximity by putting all of this information on one graph, and balance with the structure.
