Quarry Art

This piece is a heavy modification of an image I found, and as I was creating this I played around a lot with different filters, resulting in the creation of this:

This wasn't at all the image I was going for, but when I stumbled upon it I found myself intrigued by it. It looks significantly more space-y, like something we might get from Hubble or something.

Good and Bad Visual Data

Good Data

Despite the fact that the picture is a little cut off on the right side, I think that this is a great example of good visual data. the colors are very clear, the information is very precise, and very well made. Te information covers a fair amount of territory, going through many trilogies and representing them in a very nice manner. In summary: It is very clear, and incredibly precise.

Bad Data

In my opinion, this is representative of bad visual data. The coloration of the letter in the circle, the spacing of the letter, and the coloration of the sections all add together to not look nice. Also, the fact that the data is split up into two different sections, what is in the circle itself, and then what the colors of the various sections mean splits attention into two different focuses, each of which contains roughly the say ideas. In one case the same information is expressed three times.

I took a slightly different approach  with this assignment. Instead of a lecture type show, or a mind map based on that format, I chose the first episode of a television show that I am familiar with, something with branching story lines.  I chose elements that I thought were key to the development of the show. Death by violence, prophecy or mysticism, the entrance of the Bebop, Bounties, Drugs, and their use. Each of these images represents of of these ideas, each of which interlocks and weaves together to form the whole of the show.
