In this part of the project, you will be calculating measures on your data set using both the raw-data and grouped-data formulas in Chapter 2. For the set of data sent to you,

(a) find the mean, median and range of the data, treating it as raw data.

(b) make a grouped frequency distribution table consisting of 6 – 8 classes (recall that the instructions are found on p. 38)

(c) find the mean, modal class, variance and standard deviation from the grouped table – include all relevant columns of information you need ( Show work (if you make an error and I can’t see where you went wrong, then I can’t find your error!). After doing this, compare the mean you found from the table to the raw-data mean. Remember that since you use class midpoints as approximate data values, the grouped mean probably won’t equal the raw one, but I want to see how close the two measures are (in other words, how good the approximation is).

(d) write THREE interpretations of the data from the table. In other words, what do you learn about the set of data in grouped (organized) form that wasn’t apparent from the raw (unorganized) form? I DON”T want you to write general comments that describe the benefits of organizing data; rather, I want you to tell me what you learn about your particular set of dataafter having organized it. For example, if your set of data was a list of people’s heights, don’t tell me (for example) that organizing the data in a table helps you to see the distribution of heights; rather, tell me something (for example) like,”From the table I learned that the majority of people in the list had a height over 58 inches.”, a discovery that is not as obvious from an unorganized list of numbers!

Save your work (please use a filename that begins with your last name and that indicates what the file is (ex. DePriter PART 1.doc) and email it to me (there is NO drop box in ulearn.). I also accept pdfs and scans (jpgs).

Please read the below instructions and question clearly and let me know what case you want to choose

Below are the attachment that will be needed to complete assignment. The Discussion 1 NAB Company will be the topic as this is a follow on assignment that will build throughout the course.

Please stick to the rubric as the paper is graded tightly to so. Any deviation is a reduction of points.

Need to write political science discussion post (250+ word). Please read through all the rules and required readings before answering the questions. Please use *APA citation format* for both in-text citations and work citations (Include URL if there is any). Topic and Rules are attached.

My piece will be attached. It is from designer Chip Kidd.

Requirements:

Analyze a piece of graphic design.

Your essay should be approximately 1500-2000 words and include the following:

1. General descriptions and background
   1. What is the piece called?
   2. Who made it?
      1. What is the background of the designer who created it?
         1. Some personal history and background of the designer; something about his or her upbringing, and something about his or her design “pedigree.” Where did he or she go to school? Undergrad? Grad school? Who taught him or her about design?
         2. Why he or she matters to the discipline: During which era did he or she work? What did he or she do? What projects were significant? Did/does he or she teach? Where? What are some significant things that he or she has done?
         3. If the piece was done by an agency and not a single designer, talk a little about the agency and its history instead.
   3. When was it created?
   4. For whom/what was it created? This will likely require a little bit of additional research. It’s good to look up the projects you are analyzing and see what you can learn about them.
2. Formal analysis: what does the piece look like? What is the visual experience of the piece for the viewer?
   1. Describe the formal aspects of the work using vocabulary that you’ve acquired through the course. Discuss the formal relationships within the piece/pieces. Consider things like: point, line, plane, balance, scale, texture, and think especially about contrast and the relationships between the formal qualities of the different elements in the work(s) you are analyzing.
   2. Be descriptive. Is the piece primarily typographic? Or is it more of a combination of type and image? What is the composition like? What are the elements within the composition? What are the formal characteristics of those elements and how do they relate to each other?
3. Typographic analysis
   1. This can begin with a formal analysis of the typography and move into an analysis of the communication. The discussion of the typography on the work can help you transition from a discussion about form to a discussion about meaning.
      1. What kind of typefaces are used? Serif? Sans-serif? Something weird? It’s OK if you don’t know the exact font. But you should be able to think about the treatment of the typography in terms of modernist/postmodernist ideas.
      2. Use this as a transition into the communicative analysis of the work. What are the connotative meanings of the different typefaces used? Think about what Helvetica stood for during Modernism (simplicity, clarity, universality, order) and how its connotations are either similar or different now.
4. Communication analysis
   1. Denotation/connotation of text and image, or of the work as a whole
   2. The “signs” that are used (both typographic and image) and what those signs are signifying; For example, in an iPhone ad, a sign might be a woman dancing. Another sign in that same ad could also be the use of a simple, sans-serif typeface. Each of these bears certain denotative meanings as well as connotational meanings. What are those meanings?
   3. How does the use of signs and the creation of meaning make the piece modernist or postmodernist?
   4. Provide some evidence from what you’ve read this summer to support your claims.
5. Personal reflection
   1. After learning about this design project and the designer who created it, and after working to analyze it in the context of the topics studied in the class, what connections do you see to the graphic design you see or experience in your daily life? Do you think differently about the UI of an app? Or have you noticed something about the design of posters or packaging?

Your essay should be informed by some research. To that end, you are required to incorporate at least 5 sources:

• At least 2 sources should be from outside of the readings done for the class.
• At least 3 sources should be from readings done for class. These can include the book and any articles you read this semester.

Your essay must use MLA citation style.
