Graph of Desire by Voo

June 30th, 2008 12:08 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Generate a graph of your desires.

I have always loved Venn diagrams. I think they are one of the most fun ways to display data. This proved to be the case when I undertook this task.

I began by deciding on 5 major desires of mine. I chose Fun, Intoxication, Money, Creativity, and Sex (the circles from bottom left moving clockwise...the "Sex" circle is encompassed within the "Fun" circle because sex is always fun) and drew the appropriate circles. Then I colored in each overlapping section with a contrasting color, and set about determining what each overlap meant to me.


Voo's Venn Diagram of Desire

In case you can't read Venn diagrams well...

D/S Roleplay = Sex+Fun+Creativity
SF0 Tasks = Fun+Creativity
I'm A Paid Singer = Fun+Money+Creativity
I'm A Paid Programmer = Money+Creativity
Making a Few Bucks Off The Eigth... = Intoxication+Money
Gambling = Fun+Money
Intoxicated Sex = Intoxication+Sex (duh)
Vegas On Coke = Intoxication+Fun+Money
Going to Valleyfair Stoned = Intoxication+Fun


So there you have it. All the things I desire most represented in fun colors and shapes. Of course, there are other things I desire. I want to have kids some day, I wish I could find a job, I'd love to win the lottery, I want to start running again, I'd love to be a published author... but the Venn can only do so much!!

Haha, I like it!

I've never heard the actual name for a diagram such as this. You learn something new everyday :)

Very nicely done. Original.

*thumbs up*

Thanks! BTW, I've been trying to figure out how to do vector art all last night and for an hour so far this morning, ever since seeing your Player Portrait praxis.

Why thank you :)

I could have spent more time on it and put more detail on it but I fell in love with its simplicity.

It's all pen tool, if you use Photoshop. Pen tool and patience :)

Ah, pen tool. You lucky duck. I don't even have a proper mouse.

Any particular reason "Intoxication" is an ellipse and the rest are circular?

Have you ever tried to draw a perfect circle while stoned?

Harry's got it right. I thought it would be funny if the Intoxication circle was misshapen.

vote for many things, but especially i think for 'vegas on coke.' it made me laugh because it just seems so appropriate. i've never been to vegas, but i imagine vegas to be a place that might make you feel like you are on some kind of drugs, or maybe make you wish you were.

I'm pretty open about my recreational drug use, so I have no problem admitting that I have indeed been to Vegas while on a little bit of coke, and lemme tell ya, it was a pretty fun fucking time.

I cancelled that out by running a marathon in Vegas. Unhealthy, super healthy. It all balances out. *grin*
