The Visualization
Reflections
I'm really happy with how this turned out! I think it strikes a good balance of playful and informative, which reflects the nature of the dataset. The overall process was fun, and the implementation went pretty smoothly since we did a good job of sketching and designing before we started coding. I added a few things I didn't fully plan for, like hover interactions and fun animations when you click on the timeline, and if I wanted to invest more time I think it would be cool to add more interactions (for example, having the timeline respond to hovering over the bar charts). But overall, I think this is a good place to leave this project.
I hope you enjoyed this series! I wanted to thank Lydia Zimmerman for helping me proofread this and Dorrie for allowing me to use her likeness. If you wanted to support this type of work further, feel free to subscribe to our newsletter. Thanks for reading!
