Concepts

This is a research page which was done in class, i found this interesting into which means of comunication perhaps works best.

 

These are my 2 ideas which i wanted to research further into and develope, both very similar. However they take different approaches into how they display data. I was trying to keep away from the traditional graphs and data, but at the same time keep the basic facts in the picture as this is what is important to the understanding of how much energy is being used.

The top idea is like a clock, it is a live stream of how much power is being used and where it is being used. I think time is an important part of understanding how we could save energy. This idea aslo includes a sort of points system where people can see how they compare to otheres near them in similar housing situations. I think this would work great as this adds a bit of competition and rivalry. The second idea is not based on time as such, instead just the raw picture and where is is being used. I think although this would work it is a little bit too simple, there is no real motivation to better the amount of energy used, unlike the top idea which has an element of personal achievement.
