Map Idea

While this has been happening I have looked back on my own information collected on missing people, especially the statistics. My work is heavily researched based and I would like to present this in some way. I think a good place to start would be on my website I created a few weeks ago, which is still in the making. michellequinnartist.weebly.com.The internet is easily accessible for everyone and it seems only logical to use this. I have listed some statistics on my blog, but it seems more appropriate to use a website.

I also want to create a physical representation of the figures involved with missing people. Most people have no idea about the numbers of people that go missing everyday, and after a lot of researching I found out some of these on a global scale. I have put these numbers on maps as a mock-up of what I want my piece to look like. I have tried using different map types but feel the blank maps work best. The numbers are the amount of people that go missing in that country per day. Some, or most, countries do not have this information available and there can be many reasons for this...undeveloped countries do not keep records or some governments misrepresent /keep this information secretive. At the moment I am finding it difficult to find the timers that will be used to count up the number of people going missing over a 24 hour period. My plan is to ask at Maplins or other electronic stores for advice.
