Design

The design of my visualisations is an important part of my project. If I don't design these visualisations correctly it will cloud my reason for my project.  I have sketched out what each visualisation will roughly look like and represent the different types of visualisation. All of these visualisations will be interactive, when you click on one of the charts/circles/lines  it will take you to the post about that particular visualisation. So not only do the post show you which are the most popular it also allows you to explore the data be used.


The image below is my scientific visualisation this will be a simple and quite boring bar chart. All the bars will be the same colour and when you click on the it will bring up the information about the visualisation.

 This is the middle visualisation which included pictures and information. I will have different coloured circles scattered all over the visualisation and depending on how popular these visualisations are is depending on how big the circle. There will also be information stored in the circles such as the post name or the amount of likes. This visualisation finds a balance between artistic and scientistic visualisations by combining the two. 

 

  This design is for the artistic visualisation. It will consist of different coloured lines throughout the page, and depending on which of the most popular, will determine which lines are figure. There will be no information attached to this visualisation, in essence it will just be a pretty picture. Of course this pretty picture will have a hidden meaning, which is made clear in the other visualisation.
