news clock
the idea for the first non-working visualization is making something similar to clock movement with the data because times wire is about real-time news of past 24 hrs. Here’s how this should work. When new headlines feeds in, the old headlines rotate just like clock hand( minute) moves. so older headlines gets smaller and disappear as time passes, and the screen keeps updates with newer feeds.
words into pixels
these are my initial sketch for the working version. it is based on the same data set as the first viz, but i wanted to create something more abstract. squares = color coded sections , and as times passes, viewers can get overall idea of what section had the most headlines for that day.
working version
screen grab of working version. i didn’t make squares yet, it is just getting 15 headlines from nyt. for some reason, this one is not working in web browser, but you can download the file from the link below.
