Sketch up of idea

Here is a sketch of the idea for my motion info graphic. Since there are 3 three weeks, it is going to show the amount of time I was at my apartment, my girlfriends apartment, the art building, and the dining hall. for each day of 21 days. a ring will be added for every half hour I am at each place. The bar graph at the bottom will compare each of the times spent at each place.

Idea for infographic


For my infographic, I am going to plot out the amount of time I spend in the art building and compare it to how often I am at other places including my apartment, my girlfriends apartment, and the dining hall eating. I am in the art building a lot because all five of my classes in it. I also work in the art building and spend many hours a week doing homework in the lab. I want to make an animation infographic using after effects to show this information. I plan to use a series of bar graphs and an animation that shows my walking patterns throughout the week. (similar to the Netherlands daily life patterns video)

I really liked this Netherlands daily life patterns video. I'm thinking that I may do a very similar animation in order show my walking patterns around the art building.

I thought that this site had some interesting animations that would be able to help me come up with some ideas for my infographic



This site has many great color palettes that I can choose from to use in my infographic



 I thought that the infographics on this site would help me come up with different ways to plot out my time in the art lab.



I thought this would be a great site to refer to as I am mapping out my infographic because it has different examples of ways that you can do it.
