Module 2: My Geographic Map of West Palm Libraries

 


My data source was found on Google Dataset Search and was then exported into an excel file. I had so much trouble with Tableau Public; I think it's one of my least favorite tools that I've used in my classes so far. I couldn't get the colors or sizing to work for the longest time; I finally was able to have each library have its own color. I tried to not have the sizing be too small, but it kept glitching and making the screen really tiny. I don't know if it's just because it's the free public tool, but I feel like labeling the different functions better would make it easier on newer people. I was also watching videos on how to do it, and I feel like different people had functions and abilities to change things that I didn't have. I think when a lot of libraries are in the same area it makes the system confused and makes it look all jumbled up, I don't know if that was everyone or just me. There was a pattern in the zip codes and proximity so maybe that's why it was all close together.

LIS4317 Final Project – Diamonds Dataset Analysis   Kyla Garcia Platform: Tableau Dataset: Diamonds (R built-in, 53,940 observations, 10 variables) Date: November 26, 2025   1. Introduction The prices of diamonds differ according to its Four Cs: Cut, Clarity, Color and Carat. This project discusses the impact of each factor on price and the predictors with the highest strengths. Research Question: To what extent do diamond characteristics predict and influence diamond price?   2. Dataset Overview Variable Description Carat Weight of the diamond Cut Cut quality (Fair, Good, Very Good, Premium, Ideal) Color D–J, from colorless to near-colorless Clarity I1 → IF (low to high clarity) Depth Total depth % Table Width ratio Price Price in USD x, y, z Dimens...

 I had trouble figuring out how to use adobe illustrator. It wasn't that the site was difficult to read it that my file from last week wouldn't work properly when trying to upload. I ended up having to make a map with the same data and using that. Last week's map will look different then this weeks because of that. I chose to go with pretty standard colors nothing too bold just clear to understand. By having red and greens I think it makes it bright enough for people to see. To enhance the map further, I added vector icons to show where the most libraries are and a few simple lines to show boundaries. These additions provided helpful reference points. Gestalt principles helped when deciding where to put labels to help people understand more, Overall the design could use some work, but I feel like it's clear with colors and labels.  https://assets.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:7445a4bf-3c0f-403c-bde1-f8fa220dcefe?view=published
