It's nearly the weekend, so let's unwind and get the telly on!
For their grand finale, the team will be taking part in what is now a long-standing dashboard week tradition due to the fantastic outputs from previous cohorts. It's a challenge set by Tableau themselves!
Data + TV invites you to find data stories about the TV series you love, from IMDb data. When DS48 make a submission they’ll even get a free DataFam Discovery Kit with a value of $100, so the stakes are high!
Since this is a challenge set by Tableau, the team 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. DS48 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 11am Thursday morning to make sure their coach is happy with their topics that they’ve chosen. Each person must have written a blog by the deadline and published their work to Tableau Public!
Presentations will be at 4pm on Friday.
Good luck!
