Information Visualization of Project


This time, i’m going to talk about Visual Information by using a sample that was created to explained the project that already submitted and accepted or the project that still in proposing phase. Before getting to the sample first, i want to talk about visual information. Visual information is making a data become easier to understand by making it into a picture or table. By using picture and table, people can understand it more faster and easier than just using a wall of text.


That picture is a map that explain about the project that will happen or in the working phase. It visualizes the data using map to put all the information that fit the location. So in essence, this visualization is using a 2-d map to represent all the existance of the project that has been submitted to the governor.
This map using aggregration technique to combine all the project that the governor have to consider. By using aggregration they combine all the data into one map and put a description for each area that have a project. Using color to differentiate project with different type of project. While the shape and the dense of color differentiate the project that already on development and the one that still have to wait for approvement.
By using this map, governor employee can see which project already in the middle of working so the project that executed won’t collide to each other and making the budget wasted.
