This visualization presents a unique floral display to represent poems adapted into animated films. Each flower symbolizes an episode, with petals and colors reflecting the specific animation techniques and color palettes of each film.
Petals
The shape of each petal represents a specific animation technique used in the episode. The unique combination of petals forms a distinct flower pattern for each episode, highlighting the diversity of animation techniques.

Number of Petals
The total number of petals in each flower reflects the word count of the adapted poems. More petals mean a longer, content-rich poem. The number of petals is calculated using a quantitative scale based on the range of word counts in the poems, with a range from 5 to 13 petals.
The Colors Behind the Flowers
Each flower is carefully drawn on a set of five colored circles that represent the specific color palette of the film to which it is associated. These colors not only add an aesthetic dimension to the visualization but also reflect the artistic choices and atmosphere that characterize each film.

To explore this enchanted garden:
Inspired by Shirley Wu's "Film Flowers" project (the book "Data Sketches: A journey of imagination, exploration, and beautiful data visualizations" by Nadieh Bremer and Shirley Wu), the "Flowers" visualization helps you appreciate the richness of animation techniques and understand how they are distributed among episodes for each season. The vivid and distinct background colors make it easier to identify the colors used and make the visualization even more appealing.
The visualizations on the site are better suited for computers rather than phones.
