This is just one rough example of what my layout might look like, although it's still pending. I'm most likely going to have a digital piece rather than print.

So the first screen would have the over sized character there and his stomach would glow to indicate the viewer to click on it's stomach.



Once the stomach is clicked, it will zoom into the stomach and separate into different layers. Each layer would represent either, consumption, obesity, or health.



When you click on the top layer, the bottom layers would fade and a bar on top will appear. As seen on the right, there are two symbols indicating genders. To view the statistics, you would just have to drag one over to the left circle. I'm most likely going to have line or bar graph coming up from the platform.



I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with this and I don't know exactly how the whole piece would come together once I include symbols, but this is just one general idea I thought of.

Sorry about this coming out so late this weekend.
So I had this idea of working with transparencies so that you could see how the hurricanes have progressed so it will look something like this.

Here is a closer look at Hurricane David from 1979. Please ignore the smaller circles. It was a Category 5, but by the time it hit the US it was only a Category 2. I'm not sure if the black splotches are clear. I have tracked the amount of days as well, which I hope you can get.
