Final poster

I added co-ordinates to my poster as suggested by my group.

Critiquing each others work

Me and my group communicated through chat and email. Above is me critiquing Neves poster to help create more consistency.

Keeping a system

I worked on the poster for a bit whilst the rest of my group were busy with other work, so to help them out I made a list of the font sizes and weight I used to keep our posters consistent. We also made a one drive and shared our files to make sure the text lined up.

Poster development

Using the same colour scheme and fonts and before, I started to lay out the poster. We decided to change a few things based on feedback, for example changing the captions form point 1, point 2 and point 3 to a more specific labelling of the actual area.

I also changed the title to sounds of the beach, as I thought this sounded nicer than analysis - beach. I added the key at the bottom.

Collection = interpretation poster development

After our feedback, I suggested to my group making the poster less abstract and more legible, as it’s purpose is to display information. I came up with the idea of keeping the “blob” idea but making it more easy to understand by using flat colours layered(almost like a heat map) each colour would relate to one of the categories of noise with a key.

The size of each shape is relevant to amount of tallies (with a box) so for example, at place 1 I jotted down 21 vehicle sounds. Using the equation 1 tally = 10mm, the shape on the infographic is 210 x 210 mm. These shapes are layered to compare which sounds were loudest.

Collection = Interpretation Final Reflection

For this project, I felt less confident as I tend to prefer working by myself, however I really surprised myself with how I was able to adapt my usual working style. I found it easy to communicate with my group as we worked really well together and we were able to build up our ideas together rather than one person taking the reins and everyone else following along. 

In terms of our data collection, I think we did well. We did it at the correct time and all collected relevant data that we could use for our outcome. The one issue is that I think perhaps BPM may have been a better measure than Frequency as it is more relevant to individual songs which is how we collected the data. However, with the data we did collect being in Hz, we used this information effectively to create a visual outcome.

I am happy that we created the idea of using spheres to represent the data, with size and colour to differentiate each station and their frequency range. I feel that our concept was quite original as the idea of each station being it’s own ‘planet’ and creating a space like outcome looked really good in our final outcome.

If I was to change anything about this project, I would want to change the black box that occurred when printing out our posters as it really altered the effect of our outcome, however it was impossible to change as it was a printing fault rather than a fault with our design skills.

Final Poster Designs

This is our final poster as a set. I think that we worked well together as a group and created an outcome that represented our data in a unique and visually pleasing way. 

Individual Posters

For our Individual posters, I think they do look effective as individuals and as a set. They obviously look better when put together as they all connect and overlap onto the different pages, however I think the colours we used and our concept of radio stations being like different planets is unique and can easily be understood in terms of data.
