For my final data visualization project, I chose to work with a data set on the different amounts of meat consumption in countries around the globe.
I decided to work with this dataset because it seemed like it might be interesting to work with a map for my project and also because the data was a lot more expansive and better than I thought it would be.
In my visualization, the data is represented as a map like I said earlier.
To interact with the visualization, try hovering over any given point on the map or zooming in by clicking on a spot on the map. You can also type the abbreviation to any country and data point in the search bar at the top middle area of the screen and it will filter out to only that point (make sure it is the abriviation and in all caps. Ex: Canada = CAN).
One interesting thing I noticed during this project is that the countries which aren't that known for consuming lots of meat actually do such as Brazil or Israel.
Something I still wonder that if the projections on what the percentage of meat consumed by country (which were included in the dataset but I decided to leave out) were included would it shift the percentages and how the map looked overall?
The most challenging moment of this project was working on fixing bugs and thinking of new features to add to make it interactive for users.
If I had more time, I would like to add in a different map for the projections to compaire the projections to the already concrete data.
My proudest moment during this project was when I finished it and got it fully working with all of the bugs sorted out.
