My Media Project
The Story
The story being depicted here is that is that popular boy names are more commonly used than popular girl names. There are many possibilities for the reason behind this; there are more variations in spellings for girl names, boys are more likely to be named after other family members, or because parents tend to be more creative and unique when it comes to naming their daughters. Whatever the reason may be, the data speaks for itself, boy names rank higher than girl names.
Type of Media
I used a Word Cloud to depict the popularity of certain names. This media shows words (or in this case, names) that are more common as bigger and words that are less common as smaller.
Process of Making the Media
To make this chart, I used excel to organize the and then I used wordart.com to turn the data into a chart.
Attributions
I got my data from Data.Gov
