Be sure you discuss the role of phenomena external to the images might play in making images make meaning. In other words, you are not to use this part of the assignment to tell me what you intended your image-writing to say. For Part 3 of Project I, you will translate the image-essay into a short verbal essay. In other words, you will write an essay making the same point that the image-essay has made, as best you can determine, as if you were the author of BOTH pieces and were simply trying to say the same thing in two ways, once with images alone and once with words alone. Step 1 Choose an interesting subject that involves a lot of data.
Sports data is always a likely target but there are many other equally viable topics.
The key to choosing a good subject is finding one with an adequate kind and level of complexity. You want to find a problem that requires you to represent at least 3 variables. Step 2 Compose one or more questions that data in the field can answer. Step 3 Analyze the elements of the graphic problem. As you begin to work on this project, I will ask you to hand in a brief description of the subject, questions, and data you are planning to use to help guide your efforts to devise an appropriate problem.
