Students will apply the knowledge they gained in the first semester and apply it to the design of a single data visualization project. The course will give students the detailed knowledge that comes from working on a project in depth through the process of concept development, design iteration, implementation, refinement, and critique. Communication of the design’s disciplinary relevance or social value will also be of key importance. Students will propose the topic for their project; emphasis should be placed on topics that are of personal or professional interest. Examples of such domains include personal data (e.g., quantified self), geographic mapping, crowdsourcing, medical, civic, financial, political, or business data. Students will be encouraged to reach out to the wide network of resources available at The New School and in the New York City area.
