Data Portraits


Pippin, the Wieking’s house cat, has benefitted from the COVID-19 quarantine. His owners never leave the house which makes any time prime snack and feeding time. Data was collected over the course of 8 days with the goal of acquiring the total cups of food that Pippin consumes during that time. Staying honest and gathering accurate data was difficult; the tracker being both the data analyst and source of food for Pippin. Pippins diet ranged between 8 various food types: canned chicken breast water (CW), vinta crackers (C), egg bites (E), kitty treats (T), popped corn (P), chicken broth (B), milk (M), and IAMS kitty kibble (K). The sunburst diagram uses colors that are coordinated with the foods and letters at the bottom of the poster to show which foods pippin ate on a given weekday.
