Project 1
The audience for my information graphic about traffic crash fatalities will be for the general public. The graph will be exploring the fatalities of drivers, passengers, and unknown occupants of motor vehicles in both from 1994 to 2009, showing a decrease in fatalities as time goes on.
The number of fatalities has gone down from 1994 to 2009. This is due to safety improvements in vehicles such as stability control to prevent rollovers and blind spot protection among other things. The website http://www.giftsandfreeadvice.com/free_advice/car-safety-improvements-reducing-auto-accidents-and-auto-insurance/ explains it.
The graph will be a line graph, with a blue line representing the driver deaths, a green line representing the passenger deaths, and a black line representing the unknown deaths. In addition to this, the graph key will have a blue steering wheel icon to represent the driver, a green car seat to represent the passenger, and a black question mark to represent the unknowns. The horizontal line of the graph will have the years used in the statistics and the vertical line will have the number of deaths.
I like your idea to map out the music you like to listen to during certain tasks. I would also neat to include what influences you to choose the music you listen to. Try to find good influences, like maps based on emotion impact. Also this would a map you could use different colors to indicate each song.
