Dashboard Week... Last Day: Boybands and Such :)

by Quinn Serfass

Today was the last day of training!!!!!! We were given a boybands data set which was a fun break from some of the more serious dashboards. This data didn't need any data prep so I did a relationship join on the two data sets (bands and the members).

For the dashboard, I found inspiration in the Afrobeat & Afrobeats Viz by Idris Akilapa. I chose to do a creative dashboard again with little to no analytical value. I really wanted to focus on the interactive aspect and the user experience.

Breaking down the actual dashboard - I made a background that might get flagged for copywriting however, I wanted to see the Big Time Rush boys get the credit they deserve. I made a parameter so you can choose what decade you would like to focus on, an action that allows you to interact with the timeline, and then a URL for the music video online. Unfortunately, YouTube can't run in public so there's a huge gap on my dashboard but I enjoyed the experience.
