Mind the Gap - Data Visualization
The project goal was to create an overall experience with a found data set, that has many data points. I focused on prominent women in each state, as contrasted against the grim truth that women are not paid the same as a man in any state.
I designed, printed, and hung this data visualization to showcase that a woman on average does not make the same as compared to a man in any state. I hope this project can inspire some sort of change, even if it only leaves the viewer with insightful information.
Audience:
Men and women 20+
Insight discovered during the process:
Sometimes making a project bigger gets more attention. This project was installed on the 8th floor at the Taubam Center and was left up for most of the year due to its impact.
What I learned:
I learned that using unconventional techniques can lead to interesting results. This project was successful in visualizing the gap between what a man and a woman earn. I also learned a lot about influential women from every state, and that the percentage they make to a man is never equal. The wage gap is still a big issue in the United States.
