According to my story- subsidies removel 1984, i do some more research recently: In New Zealand, Farmers don't want subsidies http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-ross/farm-subsidies-new-zealand_b_1680259.html What happened when New Zealand got rid of government subsidies for farmers http://dailysignal.com/2016/09/22/what-happened-when-new-zealand-got-rid-of-government-subsidies-for-farmers/ Removal of Agricultural Subsidies in New Zealand http://archive.epi.yale.edu/case-study/removal-agricultural-subsidies-new-zealand Revolution or evolution? New Zealand agriculture since 1984 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1023%2FB%3AGEJO.0000019969.38496.82?LI=true Agricultural subsidy reform and its implications for sustainable development: the New Zealand experience http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/15693430601108086

After i talk to my tutor on Thursday, i realize that the "story" we are required to tell is not what i used to consider. My tutor shows me the "colors"(the magzine) and the magzine seek to describe a concept in different visual ways. Thus, i suppose the "story"here is not a serials of events but a kind of concept.  Then i reconsider the story i am going to tell could be: The influence of removel of subsidies in 1984                                    

To solve a problem, you have to find one. "What is my story?" If i dont even know what the story is i can not start designing. Ideas: Milestone and the story: Story 1:Rogernomics Reform in 1984. I can talk about the Story 2:Global slowdown 1991. Story 3:Farming Improvement 2011. Telling a story:

We were supposed to come up with a rough mock-up on the class. However, i did not make it. i am not exactly clear with what story i am going to tell and i thought i shought do some more research to come up with the idea. My tutor did suggest me that we designer do not have to know the content of the project before we prototype it. However, i thought i really should do the research first just to get the basic idea of the story not for the content itself.

Some research for visual information: Reference: Meirelles, I. (2013). Design for Information: an introduction to the histories, theories, and best practices behind effective information visualizations. Beverly, Massachusetts: Rockport. Here is a good example for network diagram. Citeology Different kind of common types of network Citeology Linear Structure Here is an example by using simple icon to show the percentiage of people/objects.

What is my narrative? The factors behind the decline of the sheep number in New Zealand Who is going to tell the story? The Third person (The researchers). Sub-option: The sheeps themselves. What milestones sit within my narrative? The significant years that impacts the sheep number. What are the data sets? The sheep number each year from 1982 to 2012 in New Zealand. Sub narratives and other ways to tell the story? 1. Telling the story from the view of history of (New Zealand/The world). Review written text and data sets, how to extend? 1. Froming the point of residies in 1984, it could mentions the agricultural development in New Zealand. 2. Froming the point of global slowdown, it can extend to the economic situation of the whole world. *Further question: think about the symbols, material, dimension, colours and the typefaces
