For the final 2 days, we’d like DS45 to take on a challenge set by Tableau themselves! Data + TV invites you to find data stories about the TV series you love, from IMDb data. When DS45 make a submission they’ll even get a free DataFam Discovery Kit with a value of $100, so the stakes are high!
What's more, the theme for this year's Iron Viz Qualifiers was recently announced as entertainment! So not only will this dashboard act as their entry for Data+TV, but Iron Viz too!
Since this is a challenge set by Tableau, DS45 should use Tableau Prep for their data preparation needs and Tableau Desktop to build their visualisation. We’d like this to be an infographic dashboard. Infographics are usually highly stylised and static, they could be printed off and displayed in all their glory. DS45 should check Tableau Community entries for inspiration, but bear in mind that images must be copyright free to be included! (More details can be found here)
Each member of the cohort must choose a different story. Ideas of different areas of focus could be:
- Focusing on a specific actor’s career
- Focusing on one TV series
- Focusing on a studio
- Focusing on a particular genre of TV shows
- Comparing actors/series/studios/genres
- Etc
They must communicate with one another to ensure there is no overlap and create a post before 10am Thursday morning to make sure their coach is happy with their topics that they’ve chosen.
Presentations will be at 4pm on Friday. Good luck and enjoy your final days in training!
