Data Visualization


At the top of the screen there will be 4 years in which you can switch between. There are going to be two scenes to my data visualization, rain and snow. You can switch in between the two visualization by clicking the rain droplet on the side. (It will turn into a snow flake when displaying the rain graphs). Both scenes will display similar elements, which are the top and bottom banner, the snow/ rain that will be displaying in the background and some sort of object (a snowman here) that will display the measurement of the snow/ rain (in mm). 






The following variables will be displayed in the graph:
The mm in snow- The snowman height/fatness and also as a safe measure the sign that it carries.
The percentage of snow within the given month (compared to the whole year) - the snow fall will either be greater or non existing depending on the percentage of snow to the over all scale.]
The snowman smile- this also relates to the amount of snow fall. The hotter it is the sadder the snow man. 
The month that you are currently in will be displayed by the green bar that will move across the screen. While the bar is in a certain month the snowman will walk around. In which it will transition it weight and height slowly as the bar gets to the new month. The font that I am using will be "Chalkduster".

Here are my data in typical bar graph forms.
