This project is concerned with the comprehensive process of visualizing real-world information. You will identify some information of interest and develop software and other procedures to acquire, parse, filter, mine, represent, refine, and interact with your data \u2014 while keeping in mind essential questions about what information is worth visualizing, what makes it worth visualizing, and how your visualization functions to produce new knowledge and\/or make an impact in culture.<\/p>\n
Critique on Friday November 11th.<\/strong><\/p>\n Details about this Project\u2019s deadlines and deliverables:<\/p>\n (1) YOUR PROJECT & POSTING<\/strong> (2) YOUR PRESENTATION.<\/strong> To help you prepare, I have created some templates for Pecha-Kucha slide presentations for both Keynote and Powerpoint:<\/p>\n You don\u2019t have to use one of these slide templates, nor do you have to use the Pecha-Kucha presentation format. But it\u2019s excellent practice for a presentation style which has been adopted in more than 200 cities around the world. Even if you don\u2019t use the templates,\u00a0you still have to keep your presentation to 6\u201940\u2033<\/em>. I strongly encourage you to rehearse your presentation! Upload your slide presentation as part of your blog post.<\/p>\n\n

\nProject 2 Sketch due.<\/em>\u00a0Have, ready to show, a sketch (or perhaps even a working prototype) of your project. This is also an especially good deadline by which to have finished collecting or obtaining your data. Your sketch\/prototype will not be collected.<\/li>\n
\nYour assignment will include a posting<\/strong> on this blog and should include documentation in the form of screenshots, videos, and if possible, a zip containing the project itself. Your project package should include a written narrative about your project: where the idea came from, how you obtained the data, some discoveries you made along the way, a self-critique (what you think succeeds, what could be improved), etc. Categorize your Post with the category \u201cProject2\u2033.<\/p>\n
\nWe can expect to have about 15 presentations. That\u2019s a lot. To make this many presentations in 3 hours (with a break!), we will need to keep to strict limits on timing. For this reason, all of your presentations will be limited to\u00a06 minutes and 40 seconds<\/strong>. This is the duration of the renowned and wonderful \u201cPecha Kucha\u201d presentation format (20 slides of 20 seconds each \u2014 see\u00a0http:\/\/www.pecha-kucha.org\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n
