Mapping Project: Information Map (visualizing information)

Visually displaying a small set of information from a big database was the challenge of this project; I was given an excel spreadsheet of all of the financial records of an anonymous “Tony Pierce” over the course of a year. I then had to isolate specific bits of information from the spreadsheet and map it to come to a new conclusion about this data that couldn’t be found in the spreadsheet. I chose to look through Tony’s records of all of the events and movies that he went to throughout the year, compare the number of events to movies watched, and the price difference between the two categories. By displaying this information, it’s easy to see that while Tony went to more movies throughout the year than events, he spent far more on the tickets to those events than on all of the movie tickets combined.
