The Westernization of Japanese Culture: The Story
Instructor: Joseph Quackenbush
Term: Spring 2014
What is data? This project explores the power of data and how various sets of data can create a powerful story. I chose to work with different types of datasets including meat consumption, fish consumption, fishing rate, and the obesity rate of Japan and the United States. The data set created a unique harmony of telling a story of how Japan becomes westernized through a certain period of time. While the project brief didn't specify us to create an infographic, I chose to take this route as it projected my personal process, data, and conclusion.

My data set is divided from the years 1980 to 2005. Each data is divided into two columns (Japan or USA) and in two rows (fishing rate & fish vs meat consumption). The data was created in a sideway bar graph style to make my findings more clear and understandable to the viewer.
