Day 1 - 6/29/15

Today was the first day of the internship. We looked at many different methods of displaying data some static images, other interactive activities. We worked on critiquing existing info graphics and developing solutions for the problems in order to prevent future mistakes and help with development of our own graphics. I began looking at many different graphs and data displays as well as the raw data provided by the USGS and began brainstorming ideas to better display the data. I went in to Adobe Illustrator and worked on simple info graphic elements that I could use to display the data and began trying to fit the data in to the graphics to finish off the day.
