Marcin Ignac

Marcin Ignac is a Polish artist programmer and designer (Ignac, 2010). His piece named 'Money Vis' has been one of the main influences for my project (seen below), it shows Ignac’s expenditure over three years. I like the simplicity of the white background among the eclectic, bursts of colour used for the bars. The diverse colours, breaking up the bar, are used to categorise what things he spent his money on. This technique of using colour to separate data against a white background is very clear and effective and I may use this technique for my data visualization.
