This project explores the "personality" and communication methods of presidential commercials. The "data" is a collection of screenshots pulled from the 2020 election year. There are 20 commercials observed for both Biden and Trump. Color intensity was the primary basis for the analysis based on features used in ImageJ: Average Intensity, Standard Deviation, and Sum Slice.
