This page will give you some information about them. We will use a dataset of life expectancies and a data set of census information.</p>http://pages.graphics.cs.wisc.edu/765-26/design-exercises/de1/Tue, 15 Sep 2026 20:31:46 -0500http://pages.graphics.cs.wisc.edu/765-26/design-exercises/de1/<p>For Design Exercise 1, you will <strong>sketch</strong> ideas for designs for visualization problems using two sample data sets. Later in the semester, you will use tools (or programs) to make real visualizations. For this assignment we want you to sketch. The goal is for you to think of how visualization designs can answer questions, and to practice sketching to explore designs.</p>http://pages.graphics.cs.wisc.edu/765-26/design-exercises/dw1/Mon, 14 Sep 2026 18:04:27 -0500http://pages.graphics.cs.wisc.edu/765-26/design-exercises/dw1/<p>For this Design Warmup, you will critique and redesign (by sketching) some visualizations from an online article. Read the whole assignment first. The goal is to give you practice at critiquing.</p> <p><strong>Important:</strong> for this design exercise you should <em>sketch.</em> This means drawing things by hand. You should not write programs to make visualizations. If you want to draw using a tablet or drawing program, that&rsquo;s OK - but the spirit of the assignment is for you to sketch on paper (and submit a picture of what you&rsquo;ve drawn).</p>
