Project 7: Datawrapping
Part 1: Google Trends
This chart shows the popularity of photo and video sites during the last year. The graph visualizes how often the sites are searched on the web. The visualization includes the search term and topics related to the search. Looking at the chart, you can see Instagram is the most searched photo and video site out of TikTok and Pinterest. This means more people use Instagram as their primary photo-centered social media site.
Part 2: Test Scores
In Cairo, chapter 5, Cairo’s anecdote explains that students prefer to see a lower grade on a test with higher points than a low grade on a test with low points, even if the tests are the same grade. For example, in the chart, both tests are the same grade, but test one is worth more points. Students prefer the first test over the second. Although both tests are worth 80%, test one looks more impressive, and is worth more points than test two.
