MACROECONOMIC GRAPHS NEWCOMB INSTITUTE'S DIGITAL RESEARCH INTERNSHIP
PROJECT OWNER TONI WEISS AND THE DIGITAL RESEARCH INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
FALL 2019
PROJECT MISSION The Digital Research Internship Scrum team designed two stop-motion animations for Toni Weiss's Introductory Macroeconomics class. The animations will help students to visualize the flow of the business cycle by showing the three stages in a time lapse. Long Run Aggregate Supply curves are illustrated using human animation to display the concept visually.
BOTH GRAPHS PICTURES ARE PART OF A LARGER SET OF ANIMATED IMAGES

INTERN WORK The Scrum team's animated graphs demonstrated the Long Run Aggregate Supply Curve and the Business Cycle. Interns created the graphs on Adobe Illustrator following guidelines from Dr Weiss and their own economic experience. After creating
graphs
they were animated using Adobe Premiere Pro.
