JN 2053 Assignment - Pictures

Above is my original image. It is of the UCLAN media factory, opposite the student union and essentials student shop.




















Above is my 400 pixel wide, 300 pixel high image. I decided to focus on the UCLAN logo and the entrance to the building.
















Above in my thumbnail 100 x 100 image. Here, I focused on the UCLAN type and the logo, as it would be the most useful content as a thumbnail.




















Above is my 200 x 500 image, which extends from the top to bottom of the building and highlights the UCLAN logo.

Data Assignment - Skills test - JN 2053

The story behind the above chart is that the figures show which countries are the leading medal winners at Winter Olympics up to, not including, 2010.
The graph shows that the USA (544 medals) is the most successful country, ahead of Canada, and the former USSR, who had 48 and 49 less medals respectively.
The graph show the break-down of medals for each of the labelled countries but is structured on the total medal numbers, so gives a good all-round picture of how successful each country has been. From this, further information can be seen, such as the fact that USSR have had less medals than the USA, but have had more gold medals.
I chose to use a bar chart, structured sideways, to ensure a more visual representation which would highlight the differences between the countries.
Despite not giving actual figures, I thought a side story would be more appropriate to analyse the figures, but the graph itself is in numerical order (the largest at the bottom) and is a clear and easy method to understand and analyse.
My data was taken from the following website: www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2010/feb/11/winter-olympics-medals-by-country
