Name: Slobodan Milanko

Data: http://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/years/2015-rushing.html

Note: I used the first 17 points, to illustrate the data

The first chart made in Tableau: chart1

The second chart made in Tableu: chart2

The first chart shows the number of rushing yards, per rushing attempts, over a confrence. This is shown through a channel of magnitude of position on a common scale, and identity as color hue.The marks used were items as points. The property of discriminability is maintained by allowing the size of the points to increase, as the number of rushing yards increases. In addition, the color hue allows the user to visualise them easier, if size is not distinguishable.

The second chart shows the number of rushing TD's per confrence. This is shown through a channel of magnitude as area and identity as a spatial region. Alike the first chart, color hue and point size allows the human to easily distinguish between the differences. In addition, by adding magnitude of area, and spatial regions, they can easier see the relationship between the data.
