Individual Assignment: Graphic Representation
Purpose of Assignment
The purpose of this assignment reinforces the concept of how two different or opposing conclusions can be drawn from similar sets of data. Since data is often the basis for business decision making, you must think critically about how charts are created and where information presented originates. By telling two different stories in the creation of two charts or graphs, you will be more capable of analyzing and questioning graphics that you may encounter in your career. Another goal of the assignment is to have you locate raw data and convert it into a professional chart or graph using best design practices by paying attention to the use of colors, labels, sizing, and fonts.
