Playfair Projects

This is where we'll be organizing our pitching/writing/etc process for all of the Lede Program's Playfair projects.

Introduction

Playfair is a way for both current and previous students to stay on top of analysis, visualization, and all the arcane corners of data. Our goals are:

• Create quality portfolio pieces through a process that involves feedback and editorial oversight.
• Give and receive feedback to make our projects collectively better, along with making sure we're functional members of society.
• Create documentation of our processes so that others can learn from what we've created (and the really intense can reproduce and check our work)

Sounds good?
