Research Question:
“The Crisis” is a compilation of documents that master the trends of the time. But trends are too broad in scope because analyzing trends are not finding a flow that people will like but have to find a specific behavior or situation that people do in their daily lives. After all, the essence of the trend is curating – the process of tying something to something meaningful. Trends are not just pointing to trends, but rather the factors that tell people about new messages. And that’s where I came up with this research question: If we could create a data set of trends and visualize them in graph-making programs like Flourish, wouldn’t we know how certain trends exist in our real lives and how intertwined they are? And if that’s possible, what storytelling is possible through that visualization?
Visualization:
Analyzing Result:
The picture shown above shows a set of data (Connections of authors) from “The Crisis” through a graph that connects points to points. Through the graph, I was able to see how many trends and authors can be visualized and how connected they are. In conclusion, I couldn’t figure out how to process data storytelling through this visualized graph right now to answer my research question. From the result, I think we’re facing a lot of data today, and it’s no longer just showing data to people, but we need to transform data into information and empathize with it. And we need to emphasize storytelling technology to solve data-based problems by communicating empathic visualizations in the form of stories.
Jae,
I really enjoyed how organized you created this post to get down to the nitty gritty and immediately answer your overall question of this post. In your research question, you did a fantastic job of analyzing “The Crisis”, and tying it into the point of the post nicely. Awesome !
