Hello folks,

This upcoming Tuesday (June 5, 12-1PM, lunch at 11:45AM) Eris, Fanny and I are going to conduct a structured brainstorming/focus group session to help generate ideas for our Borrow-from-image Vis styling project. We will provide two images, a dataset, and ask you to create data visualizations borrowing elements from these images.

Given our limited timeframe, we will start at 12 sharp. In the interest of sprouting early ideas and making the exercise even more effective, below follow links to the images and the dataset we are going to use on Tuesday. Think about them when you are in the shower, during your commute, or before sleeping — often referred to as some of the most creative moments in a person’s day :-D

Also, we plan on taking pictures on the day, and will ask you to put your name on the designs so we can follow up later. And no, we do not have ethics (yet)… so let us know if you have any issues with that.

Looking forward to your creative solutions,

Nicole
