"We rely on data to tell us what has happened, and stories to tell us what it means."
The Project.
The project involves identifying a timely subject matter, gathering pertinent secondary research data and insights, and crafting a captivating narrative centered around the chosen theme by employing sophisticated data visualization techniques such as charts, graphs, and infographics.
Our team opted to address the waste management system in New York State. Over a rigorous two-week period, we conducted extensive statistics and data-driven research, which played a pivotal role in shaping our narrative on this subject matter.
My Role as a Data Visualizer.
While my primary focus in this project centered on crafting data visualizations, I provided comprehensive support to my team members through secondary research endeavors.
Collaborating closely with fellow visual designers, I contributed to the development of impactful slides and posters that effectively communicated the substantial subject matter at hand.
Brainstorming, Research and Data Collection.
Given the intensity of the topic - waste management in New York State - we were able to collect a wide range of data and statistics for this project.
Sticky notes, markers, and the whiteboard were our partners-in-crime to help draft the narrative of our story.
Our entire data was compiled and narrated through a deck that showcased our ability to re-create our secondary research into visually captivating charts, graphs, and maps.
Crafting the Story.
Layout and Contextualization of Data.
The key to a successful infographic is to have all the content speak for itself. Without overcrowding and complicating the layout, the data was to flow seamlessly through appropriate visuals.
RAPID SKETCHING
DATA SYNTHESIS
INSIGHT TRANSLATION
Utilizing the findings and insights from our comprehensive research, we crafted a conference poster.
The design was structured to feature a coherent layout, seamless flow, and harmonious composition, adeptly communicating our narrative through data visualization.
The Single-Narrative
Print Poster.
A variety of charts, call-outs, and graphs were designed best suited for each data point.
The Digital Poster.
In alignment with the conference poster, the digital poster was crafted leveraging derived data and insights.
This collateral was purposefully tailored for large-scale displays, with a focus on mastering narrative coherence across diverse mediums.
The comprehensive documentation of this project has been meticulously compiled within a process book, encompassing iterative stages, thorough research findings, and the culmination of final outcomes across diverse mediums.
Furthermore, the process book features the visualization of ideas and rapid sketching techniques employed throughout the project journey.
