Almost finished a small research experiment for my final year degree project. It’s a diary based around your interpretation of emotion through colour.
You sign-up and then log-in to make diary entries through selecting from a small list of colours. The entry becomes a block of colour and will continue to grow in size until you make the next diary entry. This represents the duration of each experienced emotion. 1 minute = 1 pixel. Make your first entry...leave it for a few minutes then refresh the page to see the results.
The archive will be empty until you have used the diary for more than one day.
There are a few dead links and I’m currently adding lots more colours to choose from and developing various methods to export each day as bar charts and graphs etc.
I’d be really interested on your thoughts, possible ideas for expansion and how it’s working on different platforms etc.

I like it!
I'd like to see more sublte differences in colours though so you can see more nuances of your mood...

Thanks OnD, I appreciate your input :-)
I'm actually looking at bringing the data in Flash so I can start mixing the colours, maybe to get the effect you mention.

I did a wee flash thing that translated text into colours a while back...
Anders set a sort of challenge...
Ididn't really take it any further at the time cos of other stuff I had to do, but I would gladly share, gimme a mail if you're interested....

i really like the concept of this!! very interesting!
it is funny though, last night i was wondering (whilst trying to get some serious sleep) of making a parallel of music (note)schemes and the colour-spectrum...and create animations of music and sounds based on the tone's position on the staff and it's duration...i was only wondering if it had been done already..

wow, that is incredibly similar to what I am trying to achieve for my final project.
I am aiming to produce a sound diary, where each entry is depicted through non-diegetic sound. Once a certain amount of entries have been made, the user..or viewer can playback the diary where each entry will mix into the next etc. The end result being that a random person could come and distinguish the general ideology of the persons events.
One of my initial ideas was to convert these sounds into some kind of accompanying visualisation, rather similar to what you mentioned.
Thanks for your input :-)
