ethnography: research

I made a data log table on my 8 day travel pattern. I recorded where I traveled to, including my departure, the time and date, the time taken, the distance, and travel method. Because I wanted to know how actively I was travelling around London, distance became the key element when organising the data. Then of course it became apparent it will be easier to understand when the data is transferred into a map.
Two images above are the maps. Each places I have been to are marked red, the thickness of lines are directly proportional to the number of travels. It turns out I have this dramatic shape. I found it visually interesting but it was non-typographic nor in a grid system (which was what the brief was asking for).
