Using the story feature in Tableau, you will create an explanatory story visualization.
INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES
ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS
Dashboard
Fulfill the main requirement
Your dashboard should include a minimum of four visualizations. They should “flow” nicely from one to another and all be around the same topic. You don’t have to directly use the exact same variables or physically explain the graphs but (like any good dashboard) I should be able to follow along and see how the data relates.
• Four visualizations
• Dashboard itself will be graded (use of whitespace, title, sheets, objects) • Sheets will also be looked at individually
• Incorporate usability, accessibility, psychology, aesthetics for your dashboard and for each sheet (see “analysis” below)
then choose your own adventure
In addition to the main dashboard requirements, you are responsible for ONE of the below requirements (your choice). If you are working in a pair, you are responsible for ALL of the below requirements.
• Screen Reader:
Your sheets within your dashboard and the dashboard itself must be completely screen reader friendly. (Week 5)
• Responsive:
Your dashboard and story must have a total of three breakpoints and work for each. This must be manually confi guard and not automatically laid out by Tableau. One breakpoint is built-in (desktop). I would recommend including a tablet and mobile view for your other breakpoints. (Week 7-8)
• Interactivity:
Your dashboard OR story must include at least two interactive elements. Tableau built interactivity, such as filters and legends will not count. (Week 7-8)
• Self-Selected:
You are welcome to choose a feature we’ve covered (or one we haven’t) and explore in-depth. If you go this option, please email me ASAP. I need to approve your feature. This could be something related to stats, psychology, a more complex graph that we didn’t cover or anything else that you might find interesting.
Story
Using the story feature in Tableau, you will create an explanatory story visualization. There is no minimum number of sheets or dashboards that you have to include. Instead, the focus will be on your ability to tell the story. Think back to the NYTimes articles - they used both text and visualizations to persuade.
Minimum requirements
• Your analysis: The story must include your own analysis of the situation. Don’t extrapolate - point out data and interesting visualizations that support your argument. • Visualizations: While only one is required, I suspect most projects will require more than one to tell a complete story.
Choose one of the below requirements
In addition to the main story requirements, you are responsible for ONE of the below requirements (your choice). If you are working in a pair, you are responsible for ALL of the below requirements.
• Increased Story: Your story must include a minimum of three different visualizations and include a narrative around
• Screen Reader: Your sheets within your story must be completely screen reader friendly.
• Responsive: Your dashboard and story must have a total of three breakpoints and work for each. This must be manually confi gured and not automatically laid out by Tableau. One breakpoint is built-in (desktop). I would recommend including a tablet and mobile view for your other break points.
• Self-Selected: You are welcome to choose a feature we’ve covered (or one we haven’t) and explore in-depth. If you go this option, please email me ASAP. I need to approve your feature. This could be something related to stats, psychology, a more complex graph that we didn’t cover or anything else that you might find interesting.
Analysis
Describe how you included each of the topics below within your dashboard and story. There’s no minimum page or word count; the best papers are written in active voice, succinct and explanatory.
Audience
Who are you designing this for? You have the option to define your audience however you’d like, but make sure you define it in your paper.
- Who are they? What is their familiarity with your data/subject/project? Why did you pick this audience?
- Is your dashboard explanatory or exploratory? How would your audience use this data?
Usability
How did you incorporate usability into your visualizations? This can be the topics we covered in week 4 (listed below) or any anything from the field of usability and user experience. Convince me that you’ve thought about usability and made it as user-friendly as you can.
. Keep your audience in mind
. Choose visualization based on what you need to show
. Make it as simple as possible
. Support with text
. Leverage color and whitespace strategically
Accessibility
While you do not have to incorporate screen readers (unless you chose to), you still need to consider accessibility. If you used any of our accessibility tools, include a screen shot of your results help explain. - . Use of colors and how you account for color blindness
.Screen reader compliance (if you chose this as an option)
. Color contrasts
. Readable font sizes
Psychology
There are a lot of different psychology elements we’ve covered in class, but even more that we haven’t. Briefly explain how you leveraged the below elements in your visualizations.
- Gestalts
- Vision
- Attention & Pre-Attentive Processing Attributes
- Short Term Memory
Aesthetics
While there are some rules, aesthetics can be arbitrary. Of all the dashboard and story grading criteria, this is the most subjective. Thus, you’ll get the most points by explaining your choices here.
- Use of color and contrasts
- Use of whitespace
- Visual organization
Presentation
This is a small part of your grade but still an important one. In your presentation, focus less about the data and more about how you applied specific class concepts. The reason we do a presentation is to learn from other students about their application of class concepts.
- 5 to 10-minute presentation - Walk through your dashboard and story
- Explain what you used from your analysis
- Anything interesting you learned about the data or the class Data Sets In each of these data sets, plan on incorporating more than one table. You will most likely need data from multiple sources.
