Homework
Select any example of a visualisation or infographic, maybe your own work or that of others. The task is to undertake a deep, detailed ‘forensic' like assessment of the design choices made across each of the five layers of the chosen visualisation's anatomy. In each case your assessment is only concerned with one design layer at a time.
For this task, take a close look at the colour choices:
a. Start by identifying all the applications of colour deployed, listing them under the headers of i) data legibility, ii) editorial salience, and iii) functional harmony.
b. How suitable are the choices and deployment of these colours? If they are not, what do you think they should have been?
c. Go through the set of ‘Influencing factors' from the latter section of the book's chapter to help shape your assessment and to possibly inform how you might tackle this design layer differently
d. Also, considering the range of potential applications of colour, what would you do differently or additionally?
Format your homework according to the give formatting requirements:
a. The answer must be double spaced, typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
b. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the homework, the course title, the student's name, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
c. Also include a reference page. The references and Citations should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
