Data Set

I took the tallys from all the time's I said the curse words over the past three weeks and also I decided to go with the conversation type because it will help me put the words in context and give the reader an idea of how I felt at the time

Project 3

Problem: Trying to cut down how much I swear in text messages, and find other words to use when I'm mad


Data: I took the amount of times I texted typical swear words and counted them all. I also decided to add in the context they were said, and how I was feeling that day.


Design: I will be putting them into a calendar like graphic and probably using emoticons for the emotions.


I was influenced by the style and how this graph showed change over time.


For this graph I liked how they took a different approach to a typical calendar and the days of the year that were of importance. The circle was really a great way of showing that these same holiday's occur every year.


I found this to be a good display of the emoticons, not too distracting and relevant to the information.



These two infographics were designed is similar to how I want my graphic to look. The second one was more of the color scheme that I would like to use and the first one I enjoyed how the illustrations were included in the piece to evoke emotion.
