As a Team we visited the Guardian Data Blog about the London riots,most of the information is displayed through visual data with interactive map elements. We used it as a reference to give us support in making our own chart. It helped us decide on the sort of information we should focus on.

After looking at the information on the Data Blog, we were then given pins and strings and were asked to display our own information visually on the wall.We decided to display the areas that were affected more than others by the amount of strings attached to each one having a colour for each type of crime that was affecting the area.

EXAMPLES

Me and my team members each had a task to take care of. My role in this task was to place the area names onto the wall via pins and connect them using coloured stripes using the information provided by a team member who focused on gathering the information. we spent quite some time writing up the area names, and cutting up coloured papers to math the length of danger of a specific crime to one unit of crime level way measured by 1 cm. Theft, Looting, Vandalism and Arson.
