Started by creating a few hand sketches. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5175a1ebe4b0337f718b5b35/1619796845539-FVLJLW62LB6GV3Y9XGHC/Final_Project_Wireframe_Initial_Sketch_01.jpeg Data visualization project: Educational attainment 3. After some additional data clean up, created additional sketches that removed 2019 and 2020 since data is unavailable for most countries. Also omitted countries that have unavailable data for most years (less than 2 years of data between 2014 and 2019). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5175a1ebe4b0337f718b5b35/1619796657063-UVO3H1PN82KYTMDAOV3T/Wireframe_Digitized_Draw.io.jpg Data visualization project: Educational attainment 2.

Then, I considered using a Tableau dashboard version to present the essay and a Tableau story version. To include some custom interactive graphics, I went with a different route for my final piece.

Using Excel, I conducted preliminary analyses of number of unique artists, genres, sum of plays, most played songs, song counts, and so on using sorting and pivot tables. Then, I created a hand sketch to plan what I want to show. Once in Tableau, I went through many iterations and reorganization using dashboards. https://bychen.squarespace.com/osu-elearning-portfolio daily 0.75 2022-09-29 https://bychen.squarespace.com/elearning-tools daily 0.75 2022-09-29 https://bychen.squarespace.com/elearning-tools-collaboration-and-authoring daily 0.75 2023-02-20 https://bychen.squarespace.com/elearning-tools-image-creation-and-editing daily 0.75 2022-09-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5175a1ebe4b0337f718b5b35/5a731c6b-99d4-4701-9843-87dee1566295/Asymmetrical+Balance+01.jpg eLearning Tools: Image Creation and Editing -
