identification system ideas

the idea for my image based identification system for our country i have explored ways in which you can add and read information to a set shape/system i have come up with this idea of having 10 rows of 8 dots that can show peoples date of birth and more.this is a example of how it can be done (not a final idea at all yet) the red line shows Alex's date of birth the way it works is imagine each row has a number at the top of it with 0 at the top and so on until you get to 9 so reading from the inside go to each dot further out until you have the numbers for example it reads the 26/01/1988.

the other things i have looked at are rank and job so say that the creative industry is symbolised by the color blue and your job and rank are shown with a circle it would mean Alex is at the top or bottom of his field by the fact that it is on the outside ring.

the flower in the middle is a idea of how to show which Continent he was originally from i chose flowers as i thought it was a better solution that just using the shape of the Continent. for example...


and the Filed in section could mean how many children that person has in there family or another statistic and lots of other statistics could be easily slotted in to this chart.

  1. Even though they are a bit flowery, which makes it more of a hippy utopia, i do really like these. I feel like theres too much white space tho

  2. i know the flowers are to hippy at the moment i am going to work on that and yea i agree there to is far to much white space at the moment i am still working on ways to make it more ascetically pleasing but just wonted to show every one the way it was developing would be good to get some ideas if you have any?

  3. maybe using translucent colours and shapes? so you can overlap block shapes in different colours but still are defined?

  4. shit hot. i dont know if you need to worry about the specifics? like what dot represents what number etc, just the idea that our country would have something like this, and then an idea of how it would look seems sufficient to me. but its up to you...
