The inspiration for my project came from my Read Me. I discussed the fact that there are three different types of visualisation. I knew I would be creating a visualisation for my project. So I look into documentation surrounding data visualisation. I found a quote by David McCandless (2010) which states "There's something almost quite magical about visual information it effortless it literally pouring in and if your navigating a dense information jungle coming across a beautiful graphic or a lovely data visualisation it's a relief, it's like a clearing in the jungle". I wanted to create a visualisation that has this effect on people. I want people to look at my project and think its a breath of fresh air.
One of the things I noticed about visualisations is that there are so many different one out there. How will people know what to look at? How will I get them to look at my visualisation rather then someone else's. I decided that it would not be possible to just create a normal visualisation, I want to make something that it is truer to my read me.
I decided that I wanted to look at existing work, that pull different visualisation together in one place. One example I found was blog titled Information aesthetics, this pulls in different visualisation and displays them as different posts.
