Week 03

Although this is not an image I found it very good at representing something in a different way. It is an animation for the song Arabesque by Debussy. The size of the dot represents note length, the higher the dots go the higher the pitch goes. Each different coloured dot represents a different layer.

I found this one particularly interesting because it was words constructed in the shape of each nation. The size of each nation also determined the size of each word.




No video can be embedded, however it can be viewed via this link: http://vimeo.com/19486470

Again this is not an image but an amazing animation which details the real-time behaviour of hire bikes in London on October 4th 2010, the day of a major tube strike, and the busiest day for the scheme to date. Departure times and journey durations are real; routing is calculated from OSM data; average speed from journey duration and route length. In the visualisation, the fixed circles represent stands – when a stand flashes red, it means that one or more bikes have left it - and a yellow flash means a bike has arrived. The bikes themselves are represented by the Boris Barclays Blue Tadpoles whizzing around – leaving at the right time, travelling at their correct average speed, and taking a (generally) realistic route.

 This particular poster conveys information through a number of different approaches. It has visual, numeric as well as literary elements. It uses pie graphs, colour coding, and images relative to the topic. Can create a simulation of the data portrayed.

Poster uses colour coding as a key to identify each social networking site. It uses visual and raw data to convey the information across to the viewer quite quickly and easily. Breaks down the graphs in categories of age group. Can create a animated bargraph.

 Uses Colour coding as well as images of phones as a chart for comparison. Also uses pie graphs and figures. Could be reinterpreted in the sandbox editor.

This interactive data representation is very interesting, check it out yourself.
