FOREIGNER CUSTOMERS DISTRIBUTION AT A FRENCH YOUTH HOSTEL
This work has been published on the Ben Fry's website: benfry.com. Thanks a lot to him ; I just a big fan of his work.
The Question
How goes the distribution of all the foreign customers at a particular youth hostel ?
One good view could be a map of the world ; because when we think about a foreigner, we would like to know from where he exactly comes from.
I used a data set extracted from the database. It is only a 2007's sample of the big database.
I processed all in processing. I was inspired by Ben Fry's last book about visualizing data on a map.
1st Answer: A Basic Mapping (another interactive version here)
One answer is basically a map.
Each gradient circle radius is proportional to the number of persons coming from such a country.
This script is reusable for another dataset. When it will be clean & showable, I'll put it here.
2nd Answer: A quadrilateral grid view with a stretched polaroid in background(!)
Another could be this quadrilateral grid.
Each quadrilateral has a surface which is proportional to the number of persons coming from such a country
This script is reusable too for another dataset. When it will be clean & showable, I'll put it here too.
