AVD Week 1

“A picture is worth a thousand words” may be a lovely cliché, but it’s exactly the wrong way to view visualization. For this week's discussion question, please view the Periodic Table of Visualization at the following link (http://www.visual-literacy.org/periodic_table/periodic_table.html). Choose one Data Visualization and one Compound Visualization by placing your mouse cursor over each option. Provide your classmates with a narrative description of your choices and explain why you made your choices. Also, describe what advantage do your choices have over the others. Lastly, provide an example which illustrates how you would use your chosen visualizations.

Discussion Length (word count): At least 250 words

References: At least two peer-reviewed, scholarly journal references.
