Here is a sketch I've started translating time and actions into a graphic representation. This represents time and process as one would first realize their need for an Apple product to when it finally arrives.

Your draft is really intriguing me. I was wondering if you could explain it a little more. Are all the squares steps in the process? I notice some areas have more than others and was wondering if this is how you intend to incorporate time. As I posted on Amr's I am still working on incorporating this into mine.
I was choosing to use the size and count of the squares to define quantity and time. Using different sizes within sizes allows me to further define the depth of interest for each "product" and phase of the purchase process. For instance, the shipping and tracking square is rather large identifying the wait required for any product to be shipped. Some overnight and others the standard 3-5 day. I usually select standard shipping so the square is representative of this. I also like to track my package which is illustrated by several smaller squares inside the process of shipping. Sometimes I check more than once a day so toward the end, small squares will begin to align with each other. Let me know if this makes sense. Thanks for posting!
That makes sense. I was pretty sure that was how you were representing it I just wanted to double check. After blogging with Amr and reviewing others I think I am going to represent time with a "computer chip" graphic on each step that will contain pixels inside it. The number of pixels located inside will give a sense of time compared to the other steps. The more pixles located inside, the more time was spent on that step. Does that make sense? I am hoping that will demonstrate it in a manner people can follow. Thanks for your post back.
Jaclyn,
That IS interesting. I like the pixel and clarity idea to represent time and process. Maybe the clearer the image the more time has passed and eventually the product has arrived and EVERYTHING is clear and in focus.
Thanks for the input, however after the comments by Professor Galante, I revamped my entire diagram. I was building a 3d model diagram and felt that I was headed in the wrong direction. I had intended on using diffent parts of the motherboard and imposing graphics depicting the steps but we were told not to do a model. I came up with another idea that was very similar just without the model. I worked late into the night last night and will be posting another diagram sometime today. Please look at it if you get a chance. How is your's coming along?
Matt,
Thanks for your Post.
Its Impressive the way you started to lay out your graph showing the relation between Time and Process.
"Orchestration", the composition of the process gradually, with different time consumption, some times slow as shipping and some times faster as starting your computer.
I like that you focus on the graph relation between time and Orchestration without the Linearity of each step detail.
Keep it up.
Looking forward to see your new work,
Amr
