This project I made in November 2020 is an individual assignment of the course AIDM 7330 @HKBU, which aims to dig out the hidden facts in the loss of American dissaster in the COVID-19 Pandemic.
The sensational numbers about the Covid-19 pandemic in America keep growing in 2020 as Americans don’t stop traveling nationally. But it’s hard for the foreigners to understand how serious the pandemic is in this country. By using visual elements, the data could leads the audience to know more deeply about the sufferings of Americans in this unstable year.
