Today was all about thinking of ideas for my Data Project brief. Since I need to create my own brief this time, I created a mind map and mood board to spring ideas from!
I created a mind map of my ideas Canva. I created mood board slides explaining my ideas in more detail.
The idea here was to find out my most listened to songs, most listened to artists, and most listened to genres, and create work from that data. My Deezer Year (Deezer’s equivalent of Spotify Wrapped) provided me with some data for this.
I thought I could create Top Trump cards based on the data I collect, create my own Spotify Wrapped, create posters for my most listened to songs and artists, and create repeat patterns for clothing, based on my top songs and artists. My classmate came up with the idea of researching into diversity within the music industry and creating data with that. With inspiration from Valentina D’Fillipo’s work, I thought I could create my own graphs with this data, and stylising them to tie them into music. For example, a bar chart that is coloured to look like a piano.
As a huge music fan, this would definitely be an engaging topic for me to work on, but, considering I’ve just finished the music project, I was worried I might find it too familiar, and thus become unmotivated. All in all, I like this idea, and it’s definitely one I’m considering to take on!
I thought I could create a survey of my class’s favourite colours. So I created this survey, and asked everybody to put their colour as a Pantone number. With this data, should I choose this idea, I thought I could put the colours into a pie chart with every colour having its own slice. Then, I could create a colour wheel, similar to the pie chart, but with gradients rather than slices. I could create mood boards for each colour, using similar colours and having the Pantone colour on there. And finally, I would create Top Trumps card for stats with each colour, with its shade, colour group (blue, green, red etc), whether it’s a primary, secondary or tertiary colour, how dark or light it is.
I love novelty socks; socks with different patterns, colours and icons on them. I have a whole collection at home, and I love wearing them as a way to express myself! The concept is all about socks, how I wear them, how others wear them, and comparing the two. I'll draw out the socks I wear over two weeks, finalise them on Illustrator, add them onto a calendar with each sock on its corresponding day. I'll digitally add them all to a washing line so you can see the socks altogether. Using data from a SurveyMonkey survey, I'll make charts of the class' sock trends, and one with mine. I'll make my own socks using the SurveyMonkey data, I'll add some results as fun facts to my sock brand packaging.
