My experience with creating both my timeline and my maps has been fairly pleasant so far. I’m very proud of my timeline in particular, as it stands as a great visualization of the evolution and spread of judicial dueling throughout medieval Europe. I really like knight labs, they make the process of creating a timeline incredibly straightforward, and I didn’t have to bother learning a whole new program on account of the google spreadsheets integration. I did have a bit of trouble getting my timeline to correctly display at one point though, as I accidentally put a letter into a category that only accepted numbers. Because of this, the timeline would not display until long after I corrected my mistake due to the refresh rate. However, the value added to my exhibit from the timeline far exceeded any frustrations I felt while making the timeline. I think it adds a great deal of flavor to my website, as an exciting visual that catches the eye of the viewer and encourages them to interact with the exhibit hands on. Being able to see exactly when a duel took place provides a great deal of context that help the viewer to better understand the wider context of the material at hand. I could absolutely say the same about the two mapping projects as well, particularly in regards to the Storymap JS. The ease of use and viewer friendliness of this program made it very simple to make a map that told a compelling narrative about the events of the duel between Jean de Carrouges and Jacques le Gris. The events centered around this duel were compelling enough to inspire a feature film directly by Ridley Scott, and being able to map out where exactly the events of the trial and duel took place provided a ton of context to these events. I had no problems getting this program to work, and it imbedded flawlessly onto my WordPress site. Google maps was a different story. While I understand the utility of this program, I didn’t find a very good use for it in regards to my personal exhibit. The ability to map out unconnected events seems very useful though, and I at least didn’t have many issues getting google maps to function properly. Ultimately, interactive visuals such as a timeline or a map add a lot to an exhibit, creating an experience that involves the viewer as well as informs.
