Reflection

 The idea of caricatures and representation is important to anyone who is serious about communication. In such cases, I, as do many others would see the merit in using less the advantages of exaggeration and art to ultimately convey our findings. For instance the product of this exercise, is aesthetically appealing to me but also resonates with me in that I would with the mention of the phrase ’Pittsburgh Data’ might be able to immediately identify Shadyside’s geometry. Even if I don’t I would question the logic behind the visualization by taking cues from the cluster that can be seen in the picture. What I find interesting is that had I used scientific representation, I would have to use just as much support data to clarify my observations. Maybe the fact that the scatter plot was more aesthetically pleasing got it more attention.
