Visual Thinking: Flowcharts



I think flowcharts will be good to look at because of how it impacts the user.

It follows a process, your answers determine which pathway you take. Yes or No can be used. The wrong answers can lead you to consequence or different course of action. Flow charts construct a narrative.

Ideas for my own narrative could be complex processes like: how to sign up for getting a visa. The narrative could address, what obstacles are involved. What are the different methods to obtain it? What is the best way to get citizenship? The narrative could have an agenda, such as to argue how impractical a system is, and how there should be better reform to make it better. You can back up your argument with information.
Siutational things work best, when there are different criteria that will determine if your eligible for something, e,g. housing benefits.


The amount of UCAS points you get and the average amount for the top tier, middle tier, lower tier universities (require data). Simulate the best possible choices for you depending on your expected grades. I think this will work if there is a database or something behind it to retrieve the right information, the focus will be, how to visualise this information in a creative way?
