It’s in the google drive.

#the index-non.html is the one to look at

Homework 27

tbh still working on some maps, but having a little trouble with them (for DSIII)

Day in the Life Submitted

#also have a ton of things I've had to work on the past couple days so haven't had time to focus on the data story

Potential headline: 5-10 words: cleanliness across Philadelphia (I want something clever but haven't had much chance to go through the set yet) News hook: Why does this story matter right now? Why should we care? Presence of litter across different parts of the city has major indications of how neighborhoods are viewed and subsequently treated. Nut graf: 1-2 sentences describing the essence of the story Certain areas of Philadelphia have notably higher amounts of litter, negatively impacting Philly's environment and influencing perception of the city and how it's covered and addressed. Data sources: Descriptions of and links to each dataset you plan to use https://www.opendataphilly.org/dataset/litter-index https://www.opendataphilly.org/dataset/archived-2015-litter-index Sketch: A visual overview of story design

Homework 23

Homework 21

If I had the time to improve data story II, I would spend more time on the PA-South Korea graphic and put more information into it. Due to trying to get the map how I wanted it, it got pushed back a bit. Additionally I’d want to take a closer look at the code for the map and make sure the small overlap at certain sizes went away.

Homework 20

links to data available upon request, can’t post publicly online.

#social graphic is gif at bottom

Homework 19

Rough Draft so far, working on a graphic of where to look for the slf, story mostly complete, and code barely begun tbh want to get my stuff together and then just place it all in the code

Homework 18

In Class:

Code academy:

Homework 17

In Class:

Javascript:

The intro to javascript covered how to print things out to the console, make comments, the different types of data, how to do math operations, concatenate strings, identify properties, and use methods to alter whatever is being printed to the console.

The variables lesson showed how to declare variables and the let and const features to declare more specifically. It also noted that if a variable has not been initialized are categorized under the type undefined.

Data Story II Pitch

Headline: The Invasion of the Spotted Lanternfly( working title)

News hook: Since 2014 the Spotted Lanternfly has invaded Pennsylvania it has severely harmed PA agriculture. Beyond what should initially cause alarm for citizens, they are obviously a nuisance. We are currently in a quarantine over 13 counties, an important legal distinction. Compliance with a quarantine is crucial and violations may result in fines and penalties.

Nutgraf:Over the course of 2015-2017 the spotted lantern fly has been collected by both scientists and citizens, and the data display a decrease in the number of records collected. This may be a positive sign, showing the positive effects of the quarantine which will be detailed further. That being said, they are still a major nuisance.

Data sources: Matthew Helmus, PA dept of agriculture- not allowed to post raw data online so not linking it just yet.

Homework 15

Activity in class:

I completed the formatting for different devices, so that the map-wrap maps split when tablet sized into two rows and disappear entirely when phone sized. I then created a github account to host my reverse engineering page.

Data Story Ideas:

Spotted Lantern Fly Quarantine in Southeast PA

Invasive species of comb jelly in shipping waters

Earthquake data visualization for some areas which are picking up in seismic activity where there was once none

#it is so obvious which idea is the actual idea

Homework 14

Thursday’s class was focused on tidying up the desktop css for the reverse engineering and beginning the tablet styles. We gave max-widths to some features and used floats to get things to stay side by side instead of stacked on top of each other, as well as clear to clear the floats and make sure formatting for everything after is correct. As seen with the five smaller maps, we have begun the tablet css, and it has separated the five into a group of three and a group of two. This will be fixed next class.

Homework 13

#cool to see the top of the page actually looking like the original

HW 12

The CSS course on codeacademy covered selectors and visual rules (the true basics), the box model (padding, margins, etc.), display and positioning (fixed, static, relative, absolute), colors (rgb, hsl), typography, and grids.

#so many badges #too many #this took forever and now it's naptime
