This section should include a general description of the persona, questions they want to be answered, actions/outcomes you will be supporting, the feeling you’d like to convey.

In the Presentation component of the assignment you are expected to develop an Interactive Data Visualisation Dashboard, using your selected dataset, and then capture and describe various screenshots in a PowerPoint presentation. Then using the skills you have developed in the tutorial sessions.

you should develop an interactive Data Visualisation using the Tableau software. In addition to the screenshots, you are required to provide additional comments and descriptions on each slide, which describe details about how you have considered the Data Visualisation Framework while developing the Data Visualisation. For example

e) How have you supported the motivations of the Persona you defined?

f) Data Source details/citations, and any data manipulation you performed

Datasets 

For this Data Visualisation assignment, I have provided you with a Dataset that contains Data Elements with characteristics that lend themselves to different types of Data Visualisations and Interactions (that is, Multi-Variant and Geo-Location). The following section provides a high-level description of the Dataset and the actual dataset will be available via the Cloud Deakin Site.

Dataset: Sony Music Filename: SonyMusic.xlsx The ‘Sony Music’ dataset is a Multivariate dataset that provides details on 150 albums released by Sony Music in the last 6 years. Sony Music Entertainment (sometimes known plainly as Sony Music or by the initials, SME) is an American music corporation managed and operated by Sony Corporation of America (SCA), a subsidiary of Japanese conglomerate Sony Corporation and is the world’s second-largest music company, after Universal Music Group. Out of the “Big Three” record companies, with Universal Music Group, being the largest, and Warner Music Group, SME can be considered a middle-sized company that has managed to survive despite all fluctuations in the music industry.
