In my attempts to realise my idea for the pilot, I found that the images I have produced really echo the scale of creativity displayed in the original text. When converting M83's 'Hurry Up, We're Dreaming,' I found that just by genre and artistic definition alone, there was a lot more of a visual palette to use. A lot more imagery in the text to work with than there was when I tried experimenting with a Black Keys review. This has made me wonder about the approach in data visualisation. There must be a correlation between stronger data and better imagery in Tufte's work, for example, as there seems to be in my own.
I feel that my pilot deals with my core ideas and theories well, but I think to progress, I need to explore different types of information to display. Now that I have tried to visualise creativity, I think it would be interesting to progress by seeing what happens if I create a wordcloud or something similar, based off a review, and try to visually re-imagine that.
In the process of designing and creating the website and my images, I have learnt that there are so many approaches and processes I can take. The possibilities are near-on endless, which I think serves as evidence in my question of why music reviews seem so limited by the text format. For example, I haven't even considered the possibility of adding motion to my images, I have yet to create any form of data based research stemming from content in the reviews, and there are so many specific little details I could include even from these much broader topics. At the moment, I feel the website could vastly expand in regards to the approaches I take.
