Sketches #02

Visual sketches for the new concept

Navigation Sketch

Sketches

Things to consider

- Clarify sounds (we have to look for sounds that reminds the user of sms)

- Hear more sounds

- user has to generate the visualization or else it won’t do anything

- Timeline based visualization that will educate note important movements and developments in the history of water up to the scarcity

- High drama in terms of the impact of the graphics

- Look at LiquidJourney.com

The Project

Abstract

- Dynamic looking mass of “something” that will hold the timeline

- Don’t use anything frivolous or any eye candy

- Year bubbles will reveal the major events in water that happened that year

- Start with one bubble that is 2008 major events so that people know to text

- Each bubble will hold one event so the chance of the years event that comes down is random

- If more texts to a certain year are sent than events, then the first step that happens is that all the bubbles of the events of that year join together
- more texts are sent to that year, it will grow in size and smaller sub-bubbles will create inside bubble

- If a lot of people are texting the same year, it will show the same information
it could it could fill the inside with the last few digits of the bubble - attached - and people can leave their mark.

- If you text another number then it will bring the next year’s bubble next to the previously texted bubble.
