Sketching out all Visualizations
After going over in my head yesterday what I'd like to visualize, today I decided to sketch out every possible way I could think to visualize this data and see where it lead. I spent a lot of time looking at inspiration and thinking about what exactly I'm trying to show, and I think I came up with a lot of great ideas. I also had the revelation that I was forgetting a level of visualization and wasting an opportunity by not showing all the seasons a team has played as a visualization and using that as an interface to select a season. This is super interesting and I'm sure people would love to see the rise and fall of their teams throughout the years. It will also be interesting to see which teams slowly get better/worse and which have drastic increases/decreases in performance.
Now that I have all these concepts, I'm starting to think of how I can tie together all of them in a way where they each show seperate information but are united both conceptually and visually. I think it would be really amazing if the visualizations could smoothly adapt and transition between views and looked somewhat similar. I have some ideas now of how I could do that and I think the next step is going to be creating real visuals for this. I didn't get to the physical computing representations that I am hoping to explore but I will definitely be looking into this as well. I'm really interested in how I can unite the screen interface with a physical one and have the user interact between the two. -Steve
