Crash Data Mod Dress

Currently, I'm in a course in which I'm learning R, a statistically programing language used to analyze and interpret data. It's rad. For data junkies and graphic nerds, it's like a big jigsaw puzzle that ends in art truly representing the real world.

After viewing numerous graphic examples during one of the lecture, Dr. Monsere introduced me to the following plot of transportation collision data, charting the type of graph (y-axis) by the function class of the road (x-axis, meaning rural or urban, collector and arterial, etc).


Cut to two weeks later: 2:30AM, waking up from an interesting dream in which I don this plot in the form of a mod dress. Or a mod dress COVERED in this print. The best example of the dress I'm thinking of, is as seen below and here.


HOW MS. FRIZZLE IS THAT!?


Game Plan:

Get fabric printed
Wrap myself in cellophane and get somebody to cover myself in duck tape (DONE)
Find pattern
Make dress
Rock out the Frizzle in me
