Assignment 4.1

Mapping time (2160×1920 color PDF)

• Go to Statista or any other statistical information source and find quantifiable, time-based data for a specific company.
• Find 3-5 datasets that are related by time.
• Create a time diagram based on the information.  Do not copy and paste diagrams that you find.  Translate the data into your own graphics.
• Synthesize the data – put them together into a single, cohesive large-format graphic that clearly reveals relationships and correlations between the datasets.
• The graphic should explain what triggered major changes in numbers – milestone events.
• Hypothetical example for Apple, Inc.:
  • Dataset 1 = Timeline of annual revenue
  • Dataset 2 = Timeline of product introductions
  • Overlay the data to show that the introductions of the iPod and iPad correlated with spikes in revenue.
• Be precise about numbers and use proportional representation of quantities.
• The important question is:  by mapping this instance, what are you trying to reveal?

Assignment 4.2

Tracing Diagram  (1920×1080 color PDF)

If you have not made much progress tracing the World Cup Prediction, complete that for Assignment 4.2.

If you were able to complete the World Cup Prediction tracing, choose a new,  appropriate (meaning approved by the instructor) graphic, and trace it in Adobe Illustrator exactly the same way.  Some sources:

• • Information Graphics book
  • from searching for “information graphics” on the web.
  • Nicholas Felton’s work
  • Valerio Pellegrini’s work
  • Paul Button’s work:  link 1 / link 2

Upload your 1920×1080 color PDF to the class Google Drive along with a screen capture/download of the original graphic.
