Interactive Storytelling
Assignment Instructions
Data visualisation is a great way to support fact-based storytelling. For Assignment 3, your goal will be to pick a current news story (within the previous 12 months) and create an interactive data visualisation to support that story. The choice is yours, but you will need to source the data. That will be the tricky part.
Open or Public Data
Assignment 3 must be based on open or public data. Ensure you include the right attribution.
Visualisation
- Work through Andy Kirk's Visual Design Process described in Chapter 1 in order to produce an insightful visualisation of the story and data you selected.
- Your design must include interactive elements.
- You are restricted to a one screen visualisation. This may include multiple plots or a dashboard layout.
- This assignment will be about showcasing your data visualisation capabilities publically. Therefore, your assignment submission must be hosted online (see RPubs or Cloud Hosting)
- Your visualisation must link to the source story and data source.
RPubs or Cloud Hosting
- You will need to host your interactive visualisation(s) on the web. Use RPubs for Markdown and Shinyapps for Shiny. The goal is to make your work shareable with the editor and easy to include in your ePortfolio.
