Creating Symbols and Data Visualization

Over the past few days, I have been creating a whole bunch of icons and symbols which I would be able to use in my graphs, as a way of presenting and visualizing various forms of data. These can be seen in my physical workbook, which I am using hand in hand with this online blog.

I have also been looking at ways of playing around with the graphs and plotting data, while trying to familiarize myself with the graphing tools made available to us on Adobe Illustrator, which I wasn't too familiar with before hand. However, I have been playing around with it and have come to terms with how to plot all of the data efficiently, and how to edit certain variables on the graphs such as column widths etc.

Over the next couple of days, before class on Tuesday, I will create a couple of posters for Poster One, which will allow me to get an early critique and some valuable feedback. Although it will still only be week two, the earlier I get feedback the better, and I can then use the next week to make a lot of developmental shifts and refinements before the next critique. The earlier I get some concepts printed out in full scale the better, especially since I only have this class once a week, it allows me to make the most of the time I have with both Annette and Belinda.
