Data Visualisation Handbook

This is a student project created for Interactive Media. The assignment brief gave me freedom in creating pretty much whatever I felt like as long as it involved some form of 'interactive media'. I decided to create a handbook that incorporates various data visualisation techniques.

This project was inspired by children's books/interactive websites with the idea being that it would be easy to understand and intuitive to play with while still incorporating the 'interactive' aspects.

This project was created in Processing using Java. Any images used were found on Google Images and were free to use.

What's in the book?
