An in-depth look at your movements over a week using multiple data visualisations to show different insights.
| Project | IxD 104 Project 2 - Design a dashboard to host information recorded from a week in your life. |

| Users | Yourself |
| My Role | Data collection and Analysis, Development, Design |
| Scope | At least 3 data visualisations. Prototyped. |
For this project, I chose to look at my movements over a week. While the project allowed for different data sets to be used, I thought an interesting approach would be to use one data set and explore how different visualisations could reveal different information about the data. I began by recording everywhere I went during a week and the distances between locations.

The next step was to sketch out some ideas of how I wanted my dashboard to look.
I explored a range of design work to build how I wanted to style my dashboard. I looked at the works of Otto Neurath and Nicolas Feltron as my main influences.
To begin development, I designed a tube map-style diagram of my weekly travel as I knew this was what I wanted to be the centrepiece of my dashboard.
I then built the map into a rough wireframe and changed it to a more analogous colour palette to keep the dashboard more visually cohesive.
I then designed the side and top bar, which would hold the data relating to each day, such as distances and weather.
