Title: The Economics of Dating, Chad vs. Courtney

Goals/Objectives:

This semester the easiest information for me to convey was the information that was more personal.  For my final project I have decided to look at the relationship between my boyfriend and I. I want visually represent the economics of our dating lifestyle. I have looked at data about how much we spend on our dating attire, the amount of time it takes us to prepare for a date, the places we typically go on dates, how much fun we have on each date and the average amount of money we each spent on a typical date night out. I want to use different types of line graphs and visuals like silhouettes of a couple to create a poster visual.

Source Data:

The data will come from Chad and I. The date receipts, the costs of clothing we typically wear on a date together, the places the receipts are from and our average feelings on which dates are more or less enjoyable together.

Media:

I want to create a poster visual to represent different financials of dating.  A poster is within my skill range with the software and I feel an effective way to convey the costs of dating someone that anyone can see and relate to.

Audience:

This poster will appeal to anyone who has dated someone consistently and both males and females that are curious about a dating lifestyle economically.
