Design Census 2016

Data visualization of AIGA's design census results.

How to run this

• Run a localhost webserver, so you can run the website locally
  • On Mac:
    • Assuming this repo is in your user folder called Downloads
    • Open the application Terminal, type cd ~/Downloads/Design-Census/
    • Then type python -m SimpleHTTPServer 9000
    • Open a browser window and go to http://localhost:9000/, the site should display
  • On Windows:
    • Install a local webserver app like MAMP
    • Run MAMP and check what the default port is in its settings (example: 8080, 9000, etc)
    • Open a browser at localhost with whatever port is used by MAMP (example: http://localhost:8080/)

Notes on the code

• The data (in the data/ folder):
  • PRODUCTION-questions_cleaned.json : file containing the questions from the census
  • PRODUCTION-us_cleaned.csv : file containing the answers in the US from the census
• The code for the graph:
  • All the code is in index.html
  • The graph uses the Javascript library D3.js. It's a bit difficult to learn, but this might be a good place to start learning it!
