I wanted to create a dash board focusing on different factors around sustainability.
dashboard system focused on a single subject, across up to 6 screens.
After I decided that i wanted to focus on the environment and sustainability for my dashboard, I initially just planned to focus on one element of it, but after I began my research I thought the better way to display different types of data would be to focus on 4 or 5 different elements related to the environment. I wanted to group these elements into a few different groups as I wanted the colour scheme to correlate to these groups and I didnt want the colour scheme to be cohesive and not overwhelming. After I started researching I decided that the main 5 elements of the enviornment that I wanted to focus on were tree coverage, sea levels, water usage, climate change and, CO2 emission, I choose these as I would be able to group these into 3 main groups, plants, water and temperature. Once I knew what factors I was focusing on I started research into each specific topic.
