I will talk about one of the data visualizations presented in class, and that I thought I familiarized myself with. Nicolas Ferrante's Progression Through Lives made me think about how my games' selections have changed over the last couple of years.
The first thing I really liked was how you represent the data, I think it was pretty smart since we tend to just throw the game boxes everywhere and the random feature really gave it that feeling. I felt like the colors really represent each genre, and the way that the size of each block was determined by the hours played was a good idea and it makes you think about how much time you have given to that specific game over the years.
What I found very interesting was the four different types of players you talked about. The way that one can be a killer, or an explorer really makes you think about how you play your games or the reasons why you play them. It makes the data visualization more effective, since we do not only see how your game selections have changed but also how you have changed for the last couple of years!
I thought it would be a good idea to take the quiz, and I was a bit curious as what type of game I am and here are the results:
It seems like from now on people should call me Diego since I like to go around the map rather than get every single item, get to know everyone or rather massacre them!
In overall, I believe you did a great job! The interactive part of your visualization was really good and I think it would get anyone to explore your visualization. One thing maybe you could try to change would be the direction of the piles, since they look like they are rather falling than pilling up.
