A general diary of events in my life, with my design work thrown in to boot. I like to show my interests and fascinations, how they have affected me, and the artwork they have inspired. But generally it will just be me writing stuff for people to sift through in desperate boredom.

Visualising Data: Final piece completion

After trying several methods of implementing the second key, i went for a traffic light coded slash underneath the name of the region titles, i feel this is a clear representation, and goes with the Web 2.0 / Street art theme of the rest of the piece.
The final piece is showing some definite relationships between the two batches of information, the one abnormality is that the Northern eastern region is full of crime
but the residents aren't scared to be alone walking, showing that they are made of harder material than the rest of us.

I have now changed the yellow back to a pink to match more with the colour scheme, and made the overall colour scheme a bit brighter, I have started adding background and small informative details like the speech bubbles from the drumming rudiments piece.

I am now working on a code for how scared each region is, I am thinking carefully about how to implement it.

I have added the colour code i devised for AVG Crime rates of englands populations, I have divided both sets of data into three sub class's so they could be put into some sort of code, i will then lay the two coded maps over eachother so you can compare which places are scared because they have lots of crime, and which places are scared for no reason and vice versa.
My final piece is coming along nicely now, and the colour palette compliments it really well, i Added a yellow to the palette to give me enough colours to add to the key.

Visualising Data: Compiling data
I now have my crime data in a spreadsheet waiting to compare it with the crime awareness data, so far so good. Both sets of data is divided into the same regions of england, with percentages and Avg crime rates being the data being compared. I have added formula to the end of the spreadsheet to gather myself a certain and updated comparison between the two sets of data.
