[Nov 4th] Method of Cataloguing_Final & Feedback

Day 2 ll Nov 4th
Method of Cataloguing

Following the feedback on the last tutorial group, I classified a hundred of each issue based on their content to find out the method inside of the set. During this process, I figured out that the relationship between criminals and victims were interesting. Half of the crimes of murder were related to domestic crime and another half of them had no relationship between the criminals and the victims. Since the images on the set were too crucial that I decided to present these interesting points with data-visualising.

Process ONE to THREE :

Process ONE :

Based on this interesting point, I thought I could make the relationship tree just like a family tree. Dots on the Alphabet were drawn to distinguish wife/mistress and daughter/infant daughter. The dotted line presents that there is no relationship between the criminal and the victim.

Using the number of strokes I could draw on the relationship tree, I presented a hundred of the relationship between the criminals and victims on the set.

Process TWO :

Following the Process ONE, this time, I tried to make stokes as a shape. One stroke(which means when the criminal and victim had a direct relationship) was replaced with a circle line. And the relationship with two strokes(ex. Daughter or infant daughter) were replaced with a hemisphere since it need two strokes. In addition, small circles are representing no relationship.

Process THREE :
On the Process THREE, I replaced the number of strokes to ‘numbers’.
– 0 : no relationship
– 1 : wife or husband / friend was murdered
– 2 : daughter / son / infant daugher or son was murdered

ex) The ‘013’ is the case of a wife and a daughter were murdered by their husband/father.

Final Output :
While I was making the relationship between the criminals and the victims to data, I thought that this data visualizing doesn’t show the information at once. Also, the interesting point was that regardless of the number of victims per crime issue, who they murdered or the types of crime, most of the criminals were executed. So I wanted to move on to look at the seriousness of the crime from this perspective. Because all these set was related to execution and crime.

I made my grammar to look at the degree of crimes and cases. Five blocks on the left side were allocated for the main crimes I could find on the set. The category of ‘Murder’ was especially working with two blocks because no crime can be powerful than murder. Another five blocks on the right side were allocated for the number of victims. Then I visualized a hundred cases in the set with this newly made grammar system.

Feedback
> What is working :
. A Good starting point for visualizing.
. The version that used the number as a data-visualization looks clear.

> What is not working :
. The final version is difficult to get the information(hard to read the unit as data).
. Since these crimes are based on a specific period, it is important to write down the time period of the crime. Also, the place (for example, ‘London, England’) is needed to be written down for the same reason.

> To develop this further/in future projects:
. Following the feedback, add some essential information on the each unit to make it work as a infographic
. Add colour to the grammar unit to make it easy to recognize clearly.
. Since the final version doesn’t seem clear, I could develop previous experiments in the form of the final version.

> My Reflection :
. My intention of the final units was to depict the different size and shape of the degree of the crime. However, it did not work well. I agree with the feedback that the final version of the outcome is not easy to read data at once. I would like to try both of the final version and previous version to develop.
. I want to find another method which can present these visualized data effectively, not just as a form of a paper or an image.
