Data Visualisation

In last weeks Tuesday sesh, we were asked to gather some data and visually express it in an interesting way. I decided to collect the average number of mugs of tea drank per day by 25 women.

I went through all the obvious ways such as mugs, sugar cubes, milk, spoons of sugar yet wanted to keep it topical so (with a little help from Jonathan, I will admit) came up with trying to use a mugstain in some way.


Like a clock face, the circle of the ring represents the number of mugs of tea drank per day (see key), and the size of the tea blobs is the number of women who drink that number of mugs. I.e 9 women drank 0 cups a day, whereas 4 women drink 3 cups a day.
