Narrative Structure

After going through the data sheet, many different aspects involving the lapwing showed up. My main dilemma was which one of these aspects should be the base of the narrative structure? time being the most mundane base for a structure, just the way the data sheet came in. I was exploring all my other options such as: behavioral, landscape and relationships. Until we realized that the Pink Post-aids (as seen in image) is their default setting of behavior, they do not know why the do this, or even question this rhythm, but they come to the grasslands for this sole reason. Making it the base of my narrative structure, and every other thing like behavioral and landscape will fall into every slot in its own way. for example: under nesting, the behavioral will be, that both parents take turns to sit on nest, fake nesting to lure predators away. in landscape, their nest locations, and their relationship with their eggs, which is a very interesting fact i.e they produce eggs according to the surrounding, so the egg comes out looking exactly like the soil around the nest, making it hard to spot them.

Exploring Illustrations

Exploring different mediums, different illustration styles, different perspective.

these two illustrations of the grasslands are from the narrators point of view.

whereas these two are from the Lapwings point of view.

Visualization of Data Sheet

The data sheet provided, consist of five months of information (Feb-June) with every single day recorded, and every single day has three to four readings. To understand and articulate all this information I needed to convert it into a visual form. In order to be able to extract information quickly and begin to deconstruct the information.

SWOT Analysis

The Strength Weakness Opportunities Threat Analysis, was used to analyze case studies, in this particular one, I looked at Scientific Journal, A bird book, website, info graphs and documentary films .

Basic illustrations

See Think Wonder (Design tool)

This design tool, See Think Wonder was used on the data sheet that was given, to explore the possible ways of using this information to create, creative communication.

Stakeholder Map

I was trying to understand if there was a way of targeting both the urban audiences that include: children, young adults, parents etc. and also at the same time the scientist and other researchers who can use this as reference material, archiving or even showing them new ways of documention.
