"Data as Art"


This is my "Data as Art" project. My phone tells me how much data that each individual app uses, so I did the math and discovered this. Snapchat uses 61.9% of my data, Instagram uses 7.14%, Twitter uses 21.43%, and Spotify uses 9.52%. I tried to display this in almost a pop art way. I took the logos of each individual app and made them really small. I organized them in a simple way based on the percentages I found. This is how i created this. It looks just like square blocks of color. 

"5 Minute Walk"



These are the pictures I decided to use for my 5 minute walk project. I got up early in the morning and took pictures on a trail behind my house. The trail leads down to a lake. I took pictures all around the trail of everything around. These were my favorite pictures of the ones I took. I took pictures of the "Private Lake" sign, along with pictures of the lake and of the trees and sky. It was a very interesting project as I got to see and view things from different angles and try out photography.
