From April. 10th to 16th, 2020, everyday at 11:20a.m, I used my phone to shoot a 2-minute video of downtown Providence from the window of my room. Then I counted the cars in the parking spots, the vehicles on the road and the pedestrians. Below is an clip of my video documentation.
The visualization of the data
The data of each day was transformed in to an line drawing. Different forms and colors to respond to different data.
Weather: Use a circle with pattern in it to represent weather. The diameter of the circle is proportional to the mph of the wind. The pattern is determined by the weather (sunny, rain, overcast, etc.). The color of the circle was determined by the temperature on that day.
Parking Spots: Each group of parking spots was represented by a different shape. The color of the shapes is determined by the number of cars in each group. Add special elements to the drawing if there are special cars.
Vehicles on the Road: For each of the vehicle passing by, draw a dotted line that connects two random geometric shapes. Use different dotted lines for bus. Write the number on top of buses in the drawing.
Pedestrian: use n lines (n = the number of pedestrians showed up in a video) to make some random marks!
