Midterm assignment

Create a visualization that reveals a compelling story using the intersection of two data sets — one should be gathered using the NYT APIs, and the other should be a non-NYT data set of your choice. Projects will be undertaken in groups of two. Written proposals are due next Friday and should include the following:

1. Overview
A short summary of what your project will be. Give me your best elevator pitch here.

2. Data
The data sources you will be using

3. Design Questions
A set of questions that you intend to answer or explore. At least one question should be about the data itself (i.e., what is the story you’re hoping to tell?), but these questions may also address design methods or technical approaches.

4. Prior Art / Precedents
Discuss at least two existing works that are similar in some respect to your proposed project. How do you see your project in relation to this ecosystem of other works? Will it contribute something unique? Will it address problems that you see in other works?

5. Collaboration
A brief explanation of how you plan to collaborate with your partner.
