I realized for my research, I wanted to observe my own habits of what I do in the time I have "free" or I am not in class or at work. Also, my classes this semester are divided between core classes for my major and my minor. So I am looking at how much time I spend on each of these areas versus the other. Currently, there seems to be a difference between whether I'm on a computer working or studying from a book.
Below are some research images I have found that might inspire this project and how my information will be presented graphically. All images were found from the web during various searches.
The image on the left shows how I am hoping to represent the various icons with textures.

For both of these images, I like the idea of a space that relates to the topic and has the information represented within it.
I really like the "shine" one. I love the handmade shapes and the rich textures along with a cohesive color palette. I think that it has a better potential to show a comparison between two different types of data. Like you could use cool colors for one thing like on the computer and warm colors for off the computer work. Maybe off the computer could be handmade media and on the computer clean sharp vector stuff.
