Two days passed, three days in and the excitement of settling into creative technologies truly began to settle in. Now it was time for task two and time to get out about. We were set with the assignment of exploring the city to determine what kind of data we could visually present that approached both the visually creative and statistical aspects. So in a group comprising of Tyrone, Jack, Leo and myself we decided on collecting the data of something common in the city. And the thought of drinks came about and we set out to queen street to find a nice spot to camp out for an hour as we observed the drinks in hand that people walked about with. We noted down what we observed and by the hours end we headed back to the computer labs.
We wanted to present the data in a way that would avoid the representational aspect and so the idea of bubbles relating to water but not completely symbolizing drinks came about. However halfway through producing our idea it became evident that it was too much like a graph rather than visually appealing and so we decided upon two separate projects. One for the visual aspect and another for the statistically dominant aspect. So one had bubbles on a graph where the scale of the bubbles represented the most common beverage. The other was presented on a morphed pie graphs with visually appealing graphics printed on a can.
Now all we had to do was present it the next morning as a group.
