Because I am designing and implementing this application for a real world company, I have been given actual data to work with and so I feel it necessary to preliminary analyse this data and consider how I can use this effectively in my application.

The images below show how the data is currently displayed on their website.

This data is currently in a very tabular format and lacks engaging content and stimulating features. However the most important information here is the subject line itself, which I will use to denote the node itself, the open rate and the comment/conclusion by the company. The open rate is a piece of data that I could potentially use to filter the information, which could add a new dimension to the application; allowing the user to control the information they wish to view.

The final element of data available is a lengthy conclusion written by the company which annually concludes their findings from their study.

From here I will take into consideration these factors and the data and begin to develop designs for the application.
