Its annoying, the harder I try, the sh*tter it looks.

Ideas PPL!

This is what i have so far, the door! I was think of putting vien plants on the door crawling vertically, each representing us lot. I tired doing this with roots because i could find simple vine images to work from. but yeah, it looks like poo.

done my graph-thing and, here it is, tried to keep it in style with you guys so hopefully it all links together! Let me know your thoughts, one thing i think we need to do to it all is to standardise them visually, purely through colour scheme and typeface really, just to bring them together and help the flow, but that’s for the tweaking stage,at least we’ve got the data down and converted. graph-talks

A ‘comment’

November 28, 2008

Nice one kids, these are looking good.  Unfortunately, my brain doesn’t wake up until after midnight so mine aren’t done yet :-P

Left you a little comment Sam. And, Jay, that perspective is really nice, these turn out good, one thing I will say, though, is to put all the people’s stats together to go for the overall idea that we were heading for after our chat with Laurie.  I’ll post up the ’spreadsheet’ (this needs a bit of a redisign) with the data I collated and analysed.

mock up for cups

November 27, 2008

what do you guys think? i have like an image of most rooms inside the cup because I thought it would be good trying to connect these loctions with the information (just click on the image and have a look) but i havent actually done anything with this concept?

I have also done a pie chart thing for cups:

Laurie’s feedback!

November 27, 2008

Hello all, heres some feedback from the session with Laurie today.
I’ve put down some good points about the possible number / kinds of objects / subjects we are going to choose, how wide the research could be, what relation should objects/ subjects/ time/ space / periods / actions should have among each other and how they could work and make the mapped time patterns together.

Also.

this was on Visual Complexity which i find pretty clever- and it runs along the same idea as our work! the text around the edge. basically its the names of everyone who voted for the presidential election in the states and whom’ they voted for!

4_final

also that Metallica artwork we were shown which visualises every album song and duration in it. (if someone can link me the image id be grateful, thanks!)

but i was wondering on whether it should be a simple design like a vector or a piece of photography edited.

here are some samples. tell me which is the best.
