Danni Hu InfoVis Final Project
The history of Seattle's efforts in solving homelessness
(1st Iteration)
​
After learning about the current situation of homelessness in Seattle, and exploring the reasons that create homelessness, I was curious about the landscape of existing efforts in Seattle area. Based on the information online, I created two versions of timeline diagrams, both trying to visualize the important dates for homeless-related organizations and events in Seattle area.
Both of them adopted the color scheme used in modal infographics.

Critique Feedback
​
Feedback 1: most of feedbacks about these two visualizations are positive. People find the way of visualizing timeline both intuitive and attractive.
Feedback 2: these two timelines have different emphasizes: one on duration/ the other on speicific point of time. A combination of both (hybrid) will be an interesting option to explore further.
Feedback 3: empty space between 1921 and 1979 could be better used, now it seems to be a little bit unbalanced.
