This piece of data visualization by Hanah Anderson and Matt Daniels over at "The Pudding" displays the percentage of screenplay dialogue within several Disney movies, broken-down by gender. The underlying agenda that this graph is trying to portray is that women are no often presented equivalently compared to men. I found this interesting, because the point that is being proven is that women are often not focused on, yet with movies like Mulan, due to its story, that are a higher amount of male characters (Mulan going to war with men), yet the story unfolds to reveal her as a female, showing that women can be as courageous and strong as men. In a way, this piece of data visualization allows graphic design to "lie" about its lack of feminism.

Fortunately, I have quite a few products from Target's brand, Up&Up. I found that comparing two of its products works well to note the typography, color, or just arrangement of the graphic design to have each product stay within a consistent style. The design that sticks out the most to me is the sans-serif type, as Target in general maintains this typography through the entire store. Not only this, the arrangement of large header that explains the product, information about the product underneath it and to the left of the design, and an illustration or image that in some way represents the product to the right. Of course, we have the brand logo in the left hand corner, as well.

This week I learned some great new vocabulary around online trolling. I’ve seen and felt this behavior before, but I didn’t realize it had actual names.

My top learnings:

Sealioning: it's that exhausting fake-polite bro energy questioning that shows up asking "why" just to derail a conversation.

White Knighting: When a man rushes into your comments to “defend” a woman from internet trolls, not out of solidarity, but because he thinks his feminist cape might get him a date.

Grave Digging: The fine art of digging up someones old posts like it’s the social media zombie apocalypse. Usually done to stir drama or cancel someone who thought Duck Face selfies on MySpace were cool.

Honestly, it’s kind of comforting to have language for this nonsense. Helps you clock it faster when it’s happening and learn how to deal with it.

I love this quote as it brings awareness around people having an online community within their culture.

This is an infographic I've pulled from online. The underlying agenda of this infographic is to try and get readers to become scared of their data becoming stolen by other companies and tells the user that if they use their company their data would be "placed in their (the user's)hands.

This infographic I found online illustrates the numerous benefits of exercise on mental health, highlighting its positive impact on mood, stress reduction, cognitive function, and overall well-being. While presenting factual information, the underlying agenda of the visualization is to promote the importance of physical activity and encourage individuals to prioritize exercise for mental health benefits.
