Dynamics

In the last three lectures, we have surveyed methods for visualizing dynamic events and phenomena, including Minard’s model, small multiples, animations and interactive maps. We’ve also developed a critique of these methods based on principles of cartographic style (Tufte), the limits of human perception and cognition (Tversky) and the tension of intentional design and exploration/discovery.

For your final post, please find and critique an example of a ‘map’ that exemplifies one of the four methods identified above. Please note that you may skip the ‘key words’ for this final post.
