The goal of this assignment was to illustrate data graphically within R. I decided two routes for this; one as demonstrated within the module and an alternative that uses the ggplot2 package. My first visualization was a histogram containing a comparative normal distribution curve.
Secondly, I wanted to use ggplot since it's relevant to my other coursework and wanted to apply it outside of a single class. 
I used these parameters and instructions to create a plot that compared the vehicle displacement (x) against that of its weight (y). I chose the shape and colors based off of nothing besides which of the options and sizes I felt were appropriate and appealing to me. The result is as such:
Based on this graphic, it is evident that a strong, positive correlation is evident. I consider these two designs to be in-line with the ideas posited by Few and Yau. The principles of purpose, execution, and effect are intact and can be verified by recognizing the attributes of the graphics themselves.
