Design Process
Literature Review
Explored the concepts of superstition, relevant data analysis research projects , and methodologies.
Alpha Version
Test assumptions, produced static visualizations with Tableau, and begin to form a narrative.
Beta Release
Selected data viz, produced infographics, and created interaction design with Figma and Adobe.
Final Version
Produced a one-page, interactive Figma demonstration prototype with Medium article release.
Dataset
Our dataset is retrieved from the Department of Health State of Florida, which listed marriage count numbers from 1989 to May 2022 (ongoing). We collected the data from the last ten years (i.e. 2011-2022), but left out 2020 to alleviate irregular data due to Covid-19.
In total, there are 4169 days with marriage numbers, dating from January 1st, 2011 to May 31st, 2022. We use Tableau as our main tool for creating visualization, and experimented with multiple mixes to seek explanations.
Data Analysis
We manually cleanse our data, and use Tableau to conduct analysis, generate initia visualizations, and identify the most persuasive data visualization.
We then exported the rudimentary graphs as SVG files to Figma and Adobe Illustrator to work on refine visual styles and create interaction design.
