Since the 1997 Thai Constitution, there has been an opportunity for people to sign and propose laws. However, it's not as simple as it should be over the past 20 years. Bills from people's initiative have only 9 issues passed to be laws. In this project, we would like to track the process of how it was and which part is stuck in the process.
The idea of the visualization came from the metaphor that the law process path is like a game played with people like us. Creating a difficult route to reach the destination. My intention was also to make this serious topic to be more relaxed. First, I thought about the Snake Ladder game, UFO catcher, Gachapong toy vending machine, and Pinball. But, after seeing the data, the process is confusing and also has a backward path. So, I started thinking about the Rube Goldberg machine more like this concept. I also used visual Pinball to show where it stuck in the process and tried to make it consistent to easy to understand. In the end, it has more context to explain the insight and summarize the story.
Because it is a studio project, I had a chance to play and explore the playful visuals more than the other projects. It was kind of risky for the audiences at some point and a challenge for the developer to animate the balls with physical momentum. Some part was different from my original design, but I understand the condition of the technique and timeline that we have to make it happen in the end. Still, I really enjoyed making this project.
