Top Mascots How would you display the top 10 (most frequent) mascots for US colleges and universities? Technology has several options for presentations, but they are superficial changes (colors, basic shapes). We should examine the design of our presentation, once the accuracy is finalized.
Top Mascots How would you display the top 10 (most frequent) mascots for US colleges and universities? Ideally, we could have a tall bulldog (the most frequent mascot) and a shorter pioneer (the least frequent), or some other more appropriate graphic.
Homework Create four graphs: two line and two bar graphs. Find data (research online or locally) and create graphs that represent the data. Consider the well-designed examples. How can you best represent the data graphically? What color scheme and graphics would best represent your data? Have fun with the assignment.
