Assignment: Photo/Graphic Gallery

Purpose

You’ve started to think about your story from other perspectives, and in this unit we will continue the process by trying to use visual information to illustrate, clarify, or personalize the stories you’ve told.

Format

There are many ways to tell a story using visual data. For this assignment, we’ll break them into two primary categories: Photos & Illustrations on the one hand, and Graphics on the other. The gallery you submit must include at least nine discrete images.

Of those images, at least 4 must be photos or illustrations, and must include

• A scene setter
• A portrait
• A detail/macro
• Another shot: an extreme close-up, unique angles or framing, an action, shot, long or short exposure, dramatic lighting, etc.

You must also include at least two Graphic elements, which may take any number of forms:

• Maps
• Charts
• Infographics
• Timelines
• Diagrams

At least one of your graphic elements must be a data visualization using Open Data.

Due Date

Have your images captured and data sorted by March 1, and your gallery submitted on March 3.
