Nadieh Bremer_ Shirley Wu - Data Sketches_ A journey of imagination, exploration, and beautiful data visualizations

["","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","Reflections This project took much longer than all my previous Data Sketches projects, but I\u2019m so happy with myself for overcoming all the technical challenges I faced and fgured out. I\u2019m especially happy that I implemented scrollytelling from scratch because I now know exactly how it all works and use that knowledge regularly in my work. One of the best things, though, is that it gave me a sense of technical fearlessness, where I really felt that if there was something I wanted to implement, that I\u2019d be able to fgure out how to do it, given enough time and the right Google searches. Sadly, the response to this project was less enthusiastic than I was hoping for, considering the amount of efort I put into animating the visuals and the overall amount of time I ended up spending. I think this was because my text merely recited the facts in the data\u2014which wasn\u2019t very memorable for anyone. (This was in contrast to my \u201cBook\u201d project about Hamilton the musical, where I really focused on what I learned in my analysis and wrote an article that really made the Hamilton fans feel for the musical; that was much more successful.) But that in turn also taught me a great lesson; how I feel about my own projects shouldn\u2019t be dictated by external validation, but rather how much fun I had building it. And I\u2019m really proud of everything I was able to accomplish; I think it really set me up well technically for all my subsequent projects. I like my silly, fun, Obamas project very much. \uff61\uff9f\u2736\u0e3a.\u30fd(*^\u2200^*)\uff89.\u2736\uff9f\u0e3a \uff61 143 PRESIDENTS & ROYALS","Putting Emojis on the President\u2019s Face shirleywu.studio\/projects\/obamas","Fig.4.10 Scroll based animation from frst section to the next. 145 PRESIDENTS & ROYALS","146 SHIRLEY","147 PRESIDENTS & ROYALS","BOO 148","OKS 149"]
