Concept:
I wanted to challenge myself a bit and do a data visualization sketch. I had to do a lot of research on which type of data I wanted to use since most of the data I found was quite boring. That is why I chose a topic that greatly interested me. I decided to create a data visualization of the most streamed Spotify songs in 2023. I, like everyone else, enjoy listening to music on Spotify, so this type of data was really exciting to work with!
fill(50); textSize(9); text("Lucid Dreams", 5, 575); text("Dont Start Now", 50, 550); text("Watermelon Sugar", 85, 525); text("Lovely", 155, 500); text("Say You Wont Let Go", 160, 475); text("Se��o", 225, 450); text("As It Was", 275, 430); text("Heat Waves", 310, 450); text("Perfect", 363, 420); text("Starboy", 405, 410); text("Closer", 450, 400); text("Believer", 485, 385); text("STAY", 535, 418); text("One Dance", 560, 395); text("Sunflower", 610, 375); text("Dance Monkey", 640, 355); text("Shape of you", 685, 180); text("Blinding Lights", 725, 130);
This portion of my code was used for placing the text over the bars. I thought that I could maybe create a loop so I wouldn’t have to write the same lines over and over again, but there was so much variation in the placements of the text that I ended up doing it the old fashion way!
I was really amazed that I was able to find the Spotify logo and text for FREE?! It looks so good!
Of course for the design, I included the infamous #1DB954 color and incorporated some blacks and whites to fit the companies branding.
If I had more time, I definitely would make my design a bit more elaborate and maybe even rebrand it (the colors,font,etc..). For this assignment though, I wanted to keep it a bit more straight to the point and simple.
Blinding lights continues to lead the way with (as of today) 3.76 billion streams!! GO ABEL (:::::
