This weeks lab assignment consisted of finding some positive relationships between at least 2 variables in the county health rankings national data, from 2015. I chose to dissect the relationship between adult obesity and reported poor health. I chose a color scheme of pink and orange and worked on creating the entire map(infographic) the same theme. With the two state boundary maps I represented the percentages of these variables with the use of a graduated color scheme from lightest being the least percent and darkest being the most. Just by looking at these two examples the viewer can begin to piece together the relationships of areas where there is a correlation between the two. I chose to use bar graphs to represent the top and bottom three percent of each of the variables, and use their respective color schemes to help represent them and stay with the overall theme of the infographic. I created a graphic representation of the changes in obesity from the 70s to now by using a graphic that was downloaded and edited to represent said data and make it appear seamless and intentional. I used the scatter plot correlation data as well, to help better understand the relationship between the two as well as the mixed variable bar and line chart on the center bottom. With this chart you can see the increase in obesity with the increase in reported poor health. The chart almost makes the data appear a little less significant though, in my opinion. Then on the right side of the page I have a circle graph representing the number of people in the nation who report poor health as well as some facts about disease, health, and obesity. I am very happy with how this infographic turned out!
