Exercise 1 - A Year in Steps (audio file)


I've been wearing my fitbit tracker for almost a year (there have been some times where I go to charge it and forget to put it back on and there was a week or two it seemed to stop working) and was looking at the data from it.

I decided to take a screen clipping of the last year and see if I could map that data into an audio file... Guess what, I did it.



I started by reviewing my data in the fitbit dashboard and took a screen clipping using Microsoft oneNote (if you aren't using this you should be).

I took the image into Illustrator and used stars to map the points of each week.


I did a couple of tests to see what would work better for the audio translation and the star points worked better than the graph itself.
