Hello Reader,
Continuation of yesterday, the dashboard is assembled, and aside from some sizing issues and Tableau Public refusing - perhaps the most iconic font of all: IMPACT(!), things went well.
Though I still want to add more onto it as there was extra visualisations such as The Bride's kill-list being an interactable filter showing the actor and their work - I'm content.
My biggest tip - try and accurately assess the size of your dashboard - I know I have a habit of creating a large dashboard, so as a result I tried to safely guess, and was off by approximately 2000 in height (it was 6000).
I generally very much enjoyed this project & will update this blog to include the feedback I receive, but for now - I'd say that sticking to a plan and narrowing your vision goes hand-in-hand with a successful dashboard.
I only regret some of my formatting issues, however with time after the presentation I can easily rectify this.
Though there are some issues with the dashboard, such as the quality of the data being off (for the decimal point within IMDb) - this could be easily ameliorated within Alteryx and any other smaller issues could also be solved easily - within the time period I'm proud of what I was able to accomplish - as some of the visualisations - though not entirely developed, are great placeholders to continue to build upon, and more than tell the story that I'm headed towards.
To Recap:
I created a plan which I stuck to and constantly revised and reflected upon, which kept me on track and allowed me to manage my own expectations & not spend excessive time on things beyond the timeframe. I was able to format the dashboard to be in theme with the subject matter and create all of the visualisations that I had planned. The aforementioned issues above can be rectified quite easily & would've been addressed with more time - so as a result, I'm quite proud of this one.
As tableau public is currently refusing my font (IMPACT) enjoy these images of my work.
Enjoyed the day, bring on the final task for tomorrow!
