PROJECT BRIEF
The assignment was to create a social network service (SNS) innovative to the market. This SNS needed to be a realistic contender to already established social media and networking platforms. Market opportunities needed to be identified and studied in order to be competitive. The design team was asked to find three global trends that were potentially profitable and of personal interest. From the three researched subject areas, one was to be decided upon and further examined, eventually leading to the creation of a business model and prototype.

Waves of Chaos: A Data Story
PROJECT BRIEF
Three topics that are of shared interest to the assigned team should be selected and discussed. After initial research is conducted, the single topic that has data with the most potential to offer a compelling story will be the focus. The topic should be researched in-depth and information should be collected for a thorough, intentionally crafted narrative. The deliverables must be composed with visualizations that coincide appropriately (reference Nancy Duarte’s Data Story) with the information being presented.
