hey everyone, I am getting totally confused over my data visualization.
Action script is killing me to death,I have visualization in my mind but is unable to apply it visually.
I dont know what to do,this is just not working Graphic designer + code = totally sucks
After even trying hundred of times, I just not able to write the code according to my need.
And after all this crying I am looking into info graphics.
(Static)
(Animated)
and this is really making sense to me, but just want to confirm that, can i do something like this as my project. Is this interactive? I mean I know this is interactive but interactive in sense of (user).
Do give me a opinion.

So finally I am working on DATA Visualisation.
Will make data visualization using flash and action script.
Using database of information I collected and then visualising it in a new form.
By basic thoughts of visualizing the information is based on the following precedents.
There will be the map that will be the first page of interaction
and then will show the data in form of trees, clouds(polluted/oxygen).
some more are there which I will upload after working on the project more.
These are the steps I will be following
1. Collection of data.
2. Figure out the use of database in flash.
3. Finalize the illustrations for the final project and try to make them using the data.
4. Decide on the formula to calculate the average information which will be visualized.
5. Give the final look to the visualization.
6. Make a html page to show the information.

Time of decision (from the only two thoughts I have)
1. Was to show data visualisation (states of Ameriaca)
Using the following factors to determine the average amount of oxygen that state is receiveing.
Land area
Forest area
Population
Climatic condition
Altitudes
Pollution.
deriving from above
How green that state is compare to the land area and the population.
How polluted/amount of oxygen the state population is getting.
What is the popuplation.
So On the basis of these information I thought to do a data visualization.
2. The other idea is to make a installment or a fake product which contrast/oppose this
yes the flavoured oxygen!!
This is suppose to be making people more realize the importance of trees rather than going out and buying oxygen cans.
I thought to introduce this which will give people oxygen directly from plant and when the plant
grows bigger, plant it in your backyard/in garden/anywhere and eventually they will not be needed at all.
So these were the two basic ideas I am thinking about to choose from.

The Paper ( writing this made me more think about the project and helped me figuring out the direction.)
In our too busy lives we almost forget to take care of those who are silently taking the care of our lives, without expecting anything in return. So my project revolves around these unnoticed creatures, which we use in almost every form and who are the reason behind our lives
Yes they are Green the color of life, safety, growth, peace and most importantly TREES.
So the main aim of my project is to make people realize the amount of life (the amount of oxygen) each tree gives to every human being or the amount of life you get from one tree.
Which according to my initial research is that two mature trees provide oxygen for four people or in other words give life to four people.
During research I came across uncountable projects and felt that are we so emotionless and careless that in spite of those uncountable projects taking place, we still facing the problem.
And Yes this is what I will try to do through my project will try to solve some .00% of the problem.
My first prototype will be a simple data visualization of (new york city/ world) trees and forest area in comparison to the living human area. As it will give me a bigger picture of the comparison and then I will try to cut it down to more interactive form in my next prototypes.
My first precedent is a project “these come from trees” with the goal of reducing consumer used papers.
In this they stick stickers everywhere where paper towels are used e.g. restaurants, bathrooms, coffee shops.
The most Amazing thing about this project is to reach out the right message at the right time,
And this is what I appreciate in the project that it is simple, strong and affective.
Second precedent is from an interactive Data visualization present on Global Forest watch website, which compares the amount of forest decreased over the period.
And what I liked about this is that it visually tells the user and with that at the same time let user compare the data from the past making them realize the decrease.
Third comes from a virtual sculpture “smoking tree” which deals with the question
What happens when trees are no longer able to turn carbon dioxide into the oxygen we need to breathe?
The polluting process unfolds over a whole day creating an ever-changing tableau, a sculpture in virtual smoke, which presents a disquieting yet strangely plausible possibility. Over time the tree is weakening and producing less smoke. In approx. 200 years the tree will eventually stop producing smoke and fall rendering the work as a landscape from that time on.
And this project is one of my inspiration because it make the viewer think…think about the condition if.., making him realize the importance of what is most important .
The tree.
