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.
Displays that exploit the visual potential of time
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.
