Data Visualization - 12/12/2023

  Data Visualization  Reflection:   I personally found myself having a hard time attempting to find a free global map. It's the first time that I lay out data and there's a lot of audience trying to reach to and make sure the data is straightforward and overall, easy to understand. I found myself struggling to find a color scheme. I chose bold and pink/purple hue colors to show a difference within the map and the data. I also found that I could've added a more formal tone with a more neutral color way in order to deliver that serious tone but I decided to experiment with color and see how I could expand my design comfort.

Social Justice Research  I took a Criminal Justice course during the spring term of 2023, where we learned about the structure of the criminal's rights as well how one can considered a scenario as a crime. One of the heartbreaking things I can to find out was how the police and corrections system treat prisoners due to their crimes or even race.

It was realized that prisoners with non lethal crimes like illegal drug dealing was showing improvement as a citizen and eventually was able to go back into society as a new man rather than reverting back to his old criminal ways. I wrote a research paper in the APA format which was then graded to be well. It was only an observational paper where I also developed formats of easing the incarceration system in the US if we tried different methods from other countries....

 What is Editorial Design ?  Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7iCDWl2rNo Personal Summary:  Editorial Design is an artistic activity focused on communication and related to functional, aesthetic and commercial aspects. The video described Editorial Design is that it highlights Grid and Structure as well as the consistency of the elements. The hierarchy should be important and ensure the media correlates to the text content. The man stated that the title should in fact keep the importance in a page. Most of the content should be aligned in terms of text. He also states that images or illustration should stay on one side of the page. Some books can be flexible with the textual content whereas the images do the speaking rather than the text. The illustrations or the images will be more prominent and therefore the text would be the supporting detail. You can also layout a book with having two contrasting themes such as having one simple neutral color for the text and the ...
