I just finished my Project B assignment. I chose the first option of project b to build a data visualization. I originally was going to collect data about myself, such as how many times I use the internet or how many times I call home to the US but I was very bored with that idea after just a couple of days of observing my boring life. I liked the idea of collecting data from a song so I chose the song 'I'm Yours' by Jason Mraz off of his new album. I made a chart of the chords he uses in the song as well as when they are used in sync with each other. I made a graph of all the Singles Charts that the song appeared on, where the charts were, and what number on the list the song appeared. I also made a chart of some selected words in the lyrics and how many times they were used in comparison to each other and other words. Finally, I made a chart of the release dates of the singles because I though it was relevant to the placement of the single on the Singles Charts. The reason I chose this option is because I thought it was interesting to see all the different ways you can chart or show different elements of any data, including song lyrics. I played around with several different web page creators but most of the ones I tried to create a page on were locked or cost a lot of money to download. I used Google Docs to create the graphs and spreadsheets and then I arranged the data onto Tumblr, including an audio clip of the song and a full copy of the lyrics. The chart images are a direct link to the Google Doc spreadsheets and can be enlarged. I selected the different types of graphs to show different ways in displaying the information. Have a look! http://www.tumblr.com/tumblelog/399449
