Hyper Island Visualization
Our Client in this module is Hyper Island. We are supposed to make an infographic or a data visualization for them, and we have the freedom to choose what data we want (that we can find) to use and what story we want to tell, with out too many restrictions.
In one way it's nice, I love what they are doing and it's an organization that I admire (hence my choice of studying there), on the other hand it's sometimes hard to work with something that your are close to every day, and it's hard to find new angles and think from an outside perspective.
Some of the keywords we have decided to work with in my group are growth, demand, change and adapt. The data we have is strong, and at the moment we are trying to come up with a good way of visualizing it and how to connect those juicy pieces of data. Graphic designer and data visualization artist Piero Zagami, was at Hyper Island today to help us in the right direction. It was very nice to talk to him and get a professional perspective as well as feedback. It's always nice to try your concept on an "outsider" to see if the story goes through or if it needs to be crystalized.
Early sketching :)
