Final Project

all my data for my music mapping project

 day to day research

 break down of music by songs, trips, time, and genre

color

I used color to sperate my information into categories. I used 5 different categories, i chose these colors by what that genre of music makes me feel.  Alternative music is in red because it is most popular and therefore sticks out in my head more.  Rock is the most used a bold color and so is rock.  Pop is fun and bright, so i chose a bright purple color.  Dance music has a lot of energy so i chose orange to represent that, i did not use yellow because it is a hard color to see. Hip hop is always talking about money and is probably one of the most wealthy genre, so thats why i chose green.  I agree with the color article, i believe i used his ideas in my mapping.  The only thing i worry about is if my background, the amount of genres listened to is too loud and is taking away from the arrows and the foreground.
