Survey/ Data organization readings
Magritte, The Treachery of Images is a painting that will be on my art history test tomorrow. The visual-verbal dichotomy created by this painting illustrates how images can affect us and how text can change our original perception of something.
One of the most difficult parts of this project will be placing complexity and the challenge of bridging the gap between information and expression. All of the information in Data Flow is very well organized whether is is purposely cluttered or well spaced to convey an emotion and expression within the data.
"The visual form we adopt becomes driven by the tool or the topic we are presenting"
I must remember to to create an experience with my design and have a particular aim in mind.
The circle is an important shape to create tension in the data representation and is easy to follow and understand. It creates movement and a flow of information.
Break the circle up. I like the subtle overlapping of these transparent circular shapes. The concept is simple, but visually powerful and beautiful.
This composition is visually complicated and confusing, but overall organized by color, line, and placement. It makes sense, but is not completely obvious.
