Data Visualized - 2 ideas

Spirals and color pencil peels (as in pencil sharpener peels)

The spiral idea comes from the concept of how children's life can spiral down into a miserable life when they lack education, they are more likely to become violent, to become criminals and ignorant. But on the other hand education can help them spiral up, into success. So basically the way I am thinking of this data visualization is basically a contrast between this two situation.

Instead of using rings that contain the data as if they were pie charts, I though of color pencil peels. Still, I don't want to depict these in a flat perspective. I want to let them have dimension and maybe show some kind of realism (photo quality?).

Regarding color schemes, I think I might want to use the previous scheme that I had for my mark and
e-blast, at least for the color pencil idea. For the spiral idea I was thinking in somewhat a wide palette of colors that could allow me to create some kind of drama and emphasize the contrast between the two spirals (situations) that I am working with.
