Corruption

Peter Stack

After the group decided to promote the possibility of having the Olympics in Boston I decided to question their point of view with data and facts that showed corruption in past Olympics. The best way I could defend my view would be with data about how much Olympics have cost in past years along with how much “corruption” was in each of those countries. In addition to having solid data I needed a visual representation so it was easy to understand and was aesthetically appealing. My final product would be a dot graph that gave perspective between the corruption and cost of past olympics.                                                                                        

My first graph was pretty basic, but it got the idea out so my next goal was to make something that was “pretty” and still displayed the the same information. I used Illustrator re-draw lines, add color, and overall add life to the graph. After several variations I got to my final graph.

Seeing that I was not actually going to change the groups opinion about having the Olympics in Boston I made a short list of recommendations. The recommendations were based off of past Olympics that went well and what they did to stop any negative side effects from occurring.
