This week I was busily drawing all the pictures for my data visualization. So far I have drawn:
A personified thermometer to show the temperature.
Board shorts, spring suit and a steamer indicating the water temperature
A sun, cloud, rainy cloud and a thunder cloud indicating the weather.
Different pictures of a windsock indicating wind strength.
5 types of waves indicating the size of the wave.
The coastline of the central coast.
A tide indicator visually displaying the tide.
A compass to show the surfer his Barings.
A time line that will allow the user to slide up and down to show the varying conditions at the beach within the next 12 hours.
A reference picture showing the times for the sunrise and sunset for a quick reference guide for the keen surfer that wants to be on the first wave but not be eaten by a shark.
I was also thinking of having one of those stock market like banners at the bottom of the page where I would create a twitter API and have surfers twitter the conditions on their local break whether its sloppy dumping or even barreling tubes.
All that is left to do is combine all my pictures into one and show my data visualization to the world.
Let’s chat.
