Oh drats!
I spent the last 12-hours struggling through writing the code for my visualization and generative processing project Data Portrait. The idea was to visualized my high school grades and feedback from teachers in a way that revealed something about my character. I had the idea that higher grades meant that I was more grounded and focused on school and lower grades meant that my head was in the clouds instead of focusing on school. I don't want the grades to reflect my intelligence but instead my focus. But after running the idea by a couple of friends they suggested I make it the other way. Higher grades are a metaphor for being about to reach the sky and bad grades are weighing me down. If I do decide to switch it up, then a whole lot of hours spent trying to figure the code out are gone to waste. Oh drats!
