For the Data Visualization project, I chose a data set on heart disease. In the document directly above this paragraph, it features the raw data. As you can tell there are numerous categories with confusing numbers and is quite difficult to process. With just loads of numbers, it doesn’t make sense and it seems like nothing but confusing numbers, so I wanted to find a way to show all this data and numbers about heart disease in a visually appealing manner. I decided on the shape of a heart as the information was about heart disease on the American population. Then from the raw data, I picked 5 categories. Using circles and a small bar graph, I inputted the data and made the shapes as much to scale as possible with the numbers. Once it was all complete the data looks appealing and organized but the information groups seemed a little confusing. To clarify what numbers went with which category, I coloured in the circles of a certain group in a specific colour. All were shades of pink and reds and they were shaded in ombre fashion, from light to dark to create a fun colour pop. It was fun organizing all these confusing numbers into a visually appealing manner because at the end the information was much easier to process and in a much more pleasing form. Overall I am glad that I was able to convey all the information about heart disease in a rather nice looking infographic.
