Database Visualization
This assignment investigates the transformation of raw data into comprehensible information. Students gather a collection of abstract data, organize it, and translate several attributes of the data—both objective (factual) and subjective (personal)— into visual form in a printed diagram.
This student chose to present over one hundred of Batman’s antagonists. This network diagram communicates several attributes: how often they appear in comics, the type of power they possess, occupation, relationship to Batman, their morality, threat level, and the designer’s subjective assessment of the character’s design.
