Module # 3 assignment

To make this graph more pleasing, I added a title with some graphics to add more context to what the colors represent. I considered adding a US flag but decided that having the red, white, and blue I voted sticker was enough. I also included the states with the highest and lowest turnout rates so that the reader can understand that the darker the color, the more turnout they had.

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.
