Colour indicative work out



Another idea using changing colour to show the passing of time - in this example the colours also act to help produce the desired activity - orange is stimulating so gets you started with your work out, red is more stimulating so promotes more physical activity, green helps concentration and then fades to blue for the warm down.

Survey Results



I plotted the results in two different forms:
+The first set of graphs take the colour as the starting point and shows how many of each of the feelings were collected for that colour.
+The second set of graphs takes the feelings as the starting point and shows which colours were most picked for that feeling.

I feel like the second way of plotting is the easiest to read, although the first way is good for showing peaks and lows for the colours individually.

Survey

Tomorrow I will carry out a survey on my fellow students by asking them to indicate which colours induce particular emotions or physical feelings.
I made a "voting box" with 13 compartments into which participants will place their slips of paper depending on which colour they feel most creates the emotion or feeling written on the paper.
 Each participant will be given a bundle of slips of paper with the following feelings and emotions written on them:

Physically Active
Mentally Active
Restful
Soothing
Hungry for healthy food
Hungry for comfort food
Hungry for sweet food
Thirsty
Optimistic
Depressed
Sociable
Private / Introvert
Anxiety
Comfort
Warm
Cold

When I have carried out the survey I will put the results into graphs.
