Microsoft Works Graphics


Visuals generated using various statistics in old versions of Microsoft Works programs. It was a simple experiment in engaging the input of data collection, and creating a visual output. I'm developing an increasing interest in creating different forms of visual interpretations of data collection - graphs, nodes and charts, in logical euclidian geometric forms, have for some reason started to excite me. I plan to explore the use of geometry as a reference point, visual interpretation of collected information/data, and perhaps numerically formed shapes and graphics. These were created using 2001 versions of Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, originally I input 'logical' data, however upon experimentation with chosen data input, number patterns etc. and customizing the colour settings I created some interesting patterns...




This was a pie chart created on a 2005 version of Microsoft Works Word Processor, again with customized data input and colour settings..


I couldn't really export these in any useful format, it was possible to export the graphs as PNG's, however I had to screenshot the chart, for some reason when I simply highlighted the chart and copied and pasted into another program to be saved as a JPEG, some weird communication error between the two programs resulted in the picture looking kind of strange in comparison...
