Mapping With Music

PROBLEM: I want to show how long it takes to get to places by music. When i walk to class and drive to places i listen to my ipod so for the past few weeks i have been recording the music i listen to and how long it takes me to get to places. 

WHAT I DID and WHAT I WANNA DO-For my idea i recorded how many songs i listened to when i went different places for two weeks.  I discovered that i need to cut down on my shower time because it takes me the same amount of time to walk from my apartment to the art building. Which ranges from 12 to 15 minutes.  But there are some factors that change the number of songs listened to on these trips. For example the length of the songs i listen to, and depending on the beat of the song i either walk faster or slower.  So i would like to show what songs i listened to and the length of each them and what genre they are, and on each day how long it took me to walk to these places.  I wanted to show the number of songs and places with an actual map. The song lengths i was going to list below the map, and on the side i want to list the genres of the songs, so you can look and see, "oh she got to class faster this day because she listened to faster pace music."

In this map the person maps their whole day out in a lateral map, and the block sizes of the places correspond to how long they were at each place.  I like this one because it shows visually where they were and for how long.  i want to use something like this for my map; using space as a measurement for time.  I want to have a key, like on a map where they have a line to say this length is equal to one mile. For mine a line length equals one song with is equal to 3 min.

 This map maps out certain points of stops and the tracks they took.  I want to show this on my map as well, i want to use lines to show the tracks i have taken while listening to my music.

For this one they show music listed on their ipod and the bigger sized boxes is the music that the person listens to most. I like this map because it tells a story and shows what the persons interests are and what kind of music they listen to tells a lot about the person.  I want to also have a list of the music that i listened too but i am unsure if i want to use a method like this one or just make a list and write next to it how often or how many songs i listened to in the past week while i was recording my data.

This is like the first mapping one, i like this one because it shows it in a 3d version and uses street sign like listing of the information.  i like this idea, especially for my concept because it shows travel.

This map is like the second one because it shows lines of travel of airplanes out of the Netherlands.  

This shows a list of friends and the proximity of yellow circles to the middle dot shows how close the relationships are, the size of the dot shows the weight of the person, and the lines show the relationships between all the friends.  I like this because it shows how everything is connected, this one i like to use the concept of the lines and the connections made between the music and the time.

 

This one is connected to the ipod music map, but instead of a big box this one shows the information in a bar graph, so i may use a bar graph or just have the box with the separations in the background, and put the actual map with the lines over top in the foreground.
