A study I touched upon in my pilot project was ordering books and the possibilities of how you order them. Originally I’d chose to do this because not only did I feel a slight sense of irony for including a study on organizing books within a book that isn’t organized in the slightest but also because it is something most people can relate to. Everybody has some form of book within their own home and therefore that creates the connection needed for someone to get something from the study.
Initially I’d only explored the idea of colour co-ordination for its beautiful aesthetic but this can be built upon. This part of my pilot was praised during feedback and therefore I felt it important to make this a solid feature in my final piece. Instead of focusing on just one sole way of ordering, I feel it would say a lot more to include many different methods for sense making and organization. The various categories I will use are:
- Story Type
- Colour
- Genre
- Size
- Title
- Author
The importance of using different methods shows the many different possibilities of order, and hopefully the reader will find themselves identifying with one specific type. Also, this is a clear display of data organization that is involved within sense making. The meaning created by this is giving order to something that otherwise would have none within disorder.
