I was inspired by the Oscars...
This graph shows the percent of all blog posts about three different movies (Transformers, Sweeney Todd, and Atonement) relative to a date between July 2007 and December 2007. I can assume the year is 2007 from knowing when these movies all came out, but the graph would be more accurate if it incorporated a year label. I like how the graph is an explicit presentation of three different kinds of information: percent of bloggers, the date, and the movie. The different color graph lines, indicating different movies, provide an effective way of representing a third kind of data. This coloration technique reminds me of the last question of Project Set 1, in which we were asked how to include a third kind of information within a two-dimensional x-axis, y-axis plane.
