Best practices for the Digital Humanities Project with “TheJayZMixtape”
Overall, the project does follow along with some very good practices in regards to digital humanities. By being extremely transparent in its documentation, staying extremely focus when collecting rigorous data, and using a plethora of humanities tools in order to make the project as successful as he can I believe that the rules were followed.
Scalar: A digital publishing platform used to create innovative, and multimedia scholarly work, that combines everything from data and text visualization, to videos and text. This platform was used to create this entire project, it was able to connect and analyze all of Jay Z’s work and made it very engaging to the audience.
Voyant Tools: A tech based platform that lets its users analyze word frequencies, and much more throughout in-depth visualizations. In this case, very helpful towards the best practices of digital humanities because it made it easy to study literature, culture, and art through data.
Tableau: A data visualization software, to take regular data and analytics, and turn them into interactive charts, maps, graphs that were very prevalent throughout this whole project. This is a very positive source when talking about best practices because it helps readers visually interpret what they are reading, and the interactive graph makes it much easier.
