Fourth assignment, 15 Feb 2013

While everyone is catching up with the coding assignments (important: everyone needs to turn in code for all of the first three), this assignment is to find two visualizations, one more informative/functional, and one more aesthetic/engaging (not mutually exclusive, the best visualizations incorporate both). These can be from articles you've read or are reading, blog postings, ... .

We'll describe and critiquing the visualizations, so we'll want:

Read David Carr's ``Guidelines for Designing Information Visualization Applications'' for standards and language that will help with the critique.

[A follow-on to this assignment for the following week will be a combination with your assignment 2, producing a visualization related to the data you pulled down, or building an API to access the data.]
