I wrote about some initial exhibition setup about a month ago, when we first started thinking about the thesis exhibition design. Since then, we’ve been developing these ideas a bit further, and testing out different approaches that we could take with the space. The biggest challenge for my project is finding ways to make it extend…

ThesisSite: Modular narratives
In addition to working on simplifying the visualizations that I already have and building the navigation interface for the thesis site, I’ve also been working on filling in some of the holes in the narrative that links the data visualizations together. Most of these narrative pieces don’t really have data that needs to be visualized, but…
ThesisSite: Designing the interface
Before I could really start unifying the design of the thesis site, I needed to get all of my different code experiments in one place so that I could actually see them. That started as a bunch of screen shots in a powerpoint file, but I’ve also been coding a front page design to support…
ThesisSite: Simplifying narratives
Last semester, I spent most of my time on the thesis project developing new visualizations and expanding my collection of experiments. Since December, I’ve been working on consolidating, integrating, and unifying the structure and design of those many different directions. First, I built a website infrastructure over the break that allows me to pass variables…
ThesisSite: Consolidating Storylines
My thesis project can be divided into roughly three different phases. I began exploring the topic and identifying relevant datasets in my Research Methods class last spring. Last semester, I continued expanding the topic and developed several different experiments for visualizing the data (links in the related posts below), as well as working on the…
ThesisSite: World Population Data
I’ve been working on a first draft visualization of world population data today. Over break, I took a step back and looked at the stories I’d like to tell with the soil data, to get a better sense of where to focus for the months ahead. The first revelation was that it’s going to take…
