Description: - It was a data visualizing competition in
which challenge was to represent the data in more easy to understand,
meaningful, effective, visually appealing and interactive way. This was a two
day 9am to 9 pm, in total 24 hours competition. The problems statement given to
us was to ‘Show the effect of increasing number of Cardio-Vascular Diseases
patients in India’. We decided to make an info-graphic about it. Day 1
Major time of day one we used in data – to took out the useful for use, find patterns in them, in doing calculations and finally prepare some ‘one line facts’ which we thought could affect viewer’s mind in more intense way. At the end of the day, we discussed on basic storyline, overall layout, starting of the info-graphic and next day’s work.
Day 2
On the second day, we were involved in design of it. We came
with a theme through which our target was to give it feel of cardio–vascular
elements by following ways:-
1. Use of
blood circulatory systems to give direction of reading t viewer.
2. Use of
arteries, veins and pulse rate etc. for visuals of the facts.
3. Use of
ECG graph as background
4. Colors
used
For us, it
resulted as a great learning experience and nice opportunity to get exposed to
other design school students.
