I really liked the visuals of your project! You had so much data on the timeline, I can’t even imagine how long it took you to plug those in the spreadsheet. It was also really nice that you used two platforms to explore the data, it was very easy to see all of the information that was in the data set, and the visuals analysis tools you used also worked very well with the content.
This project made me think about how visuals are arguments in themselves. I like that if I were to skip the first half of your project, I could still understand that a large portion of the project includes Illinois. On the other hand, if I chose to sit through only 20 photos, I would assume that the images are concentrated to a few regions, one being Arizona. Overall, I admire the effort that you put into this project. Something of this caliber would have taken me ages to finish.
This is great work Ezra! I really think you did a great job extracting data and putting together an awesome midterm for your digital humanities project! Something in particular that I found very nice and visually appealing was the blob like plot that you included in your work. I like the use of colors and how easy it is to read and interact with. Great!
