Editing Communication and Social Networks (Spring 2024)/Visualization challenge (section)

== The goal ==

So far, the exercises have done a lot of hand-holding in helping you to import and visualize networks. For this project, you will identify a network-based question that you think a visualization could help to answer, and create a visualization.


There are three parts of the assignment:

1) First, I want you to think about a question and draw on a piece of paper what you want the outcome to look like. For example, if you want to visualize whether people who have a certain attribute are more popular, you may decide to color nodes by in-degree and change their size or shape based on that attribute.

2) Second, you will do your best to recreate your idea using tidygraph and ggraph. I would like you to turn in both your drawing and your visualization.

3) Write a paragraph or two explaining what the visualization tells us about the question that you asked.

You are welcome to work with a partner if you would like. Just make it clear who you worked with and I would encourage you to be a bit more ambitious in what you try to do.
