Reflection

    

In this exercise, I did not explore the extreme situation of caricature where it exaggerates the visualization while keeping the integrity of data. I think this is an interesting topic which I would like to explore in the following exercises.

After the warm-up and caricature exercise, I begin to have a clearer understanding of representation and accuracy. I think there is never a neutral ground between the representation of data and accuracy. Every graphic is needed to be generated based on the understanding of the character and meaning of the data. And it is important to select specific method to visualize data according to the character of the data. For instance, when I studied the distribution of convenience stores, it is necessary to consider a buffer zone of the service of the stores which represent the impact of the stores and how they influence.
