Final Design

Final Design

For my final design i made a few slight changes such as changing the text to white on my map as it was blending in with the background colour, also i expanded on the title giving more details to my data collection. I also made the top circle on my datanet that represents the first bus stop larger to show people that this is the first point.

Initial Design

Initial Design

I added text next to each graph to tell people what each graph represents and what they are about.

Layout design

Sketches of potential layouts

I sketched out some ideas for the layout of my design.

Development

I created the designs onto illustrator so i could see how each of them looks with my graphs on them.

Individual graph ideas

Thumbnails

I drew out a few thumbnails of potential design i could use. I wanted each graph to be different from one another so i tried to vary each graph.

 

 

Sketches/Drawings

I drew out my designs in more detail, adding a few more details and expanding on my idea.

Development

I took my drawings and produced my ideas in illustrator. I didn't make many changes, although i did add colour to the designs.

Data Collection Results

Data Collection Results

I chose to collect my data on my notepad as it was quick. I used a tally chair to collect information such as people with mobile phones or headphones etc. However i didn't really know how i was going to collect the data for which stop each person goon and off. In the end i came up with an idea to describe everyone who got on and off the bus, such as a distinct feature. After i would then match each description, allowing me to see when they got on and off.

Neater version

Using Microsoft word i put my data into graphs so i cab see the data more clearly.

Proposal Form

Proposal Form

Now i had a rough idea of what i wanted to do i filled out the proposal form stating that i was going collect data from a bus journey, taking notes on which stops each passenger gets on and off, if there male, female, are wearing headphones etc.

Research

Research

I did a range of research looking at the different group of graphs from datanets to datanoids. I also looked at what colour schemes people used and how they laid out their designs.
