FORENSIC DESIGN ASSESSMENTS

This task relates to a sequence of assessments that will be repeated across Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Select any example of a visualisation or infographic, maybe your own work or that of others. The task is to undertake a deep, detailed forensic like assessment of the design choices made across each of the five layers of the chosen visualisations anatomy. In each case your assessment is only concerned with one design layer at a time.

For this task, take a close look at the interactivity choices:

Start by identifying all the interactive features deployed, listing them under the headers of either data or presentation adjustments

How suitable are the choices and deployment of these interactive features? If they are not, what do you think they should have been?

Go through the set of Influencing factors from the latter section of the books chapter to help shape your assessment and to possibly inform how you might tackle this design layer differently

Also, considering the range of potential interactive features and functions, what would you do differently or additionally?
