Bussed Out
investigative journalism
- each vis has a purpose
- logic & emotion
- aesthetics & precision
a balance between capturing attention and informing
Hamilton
more lighthearted with more attempts at delight:
- brighter colors
- exploding dots
- song snippets
ultimately similar goal as Bussed Out: capture attention and tell a story
send me love
tension between staying true to the data while mapping it in a visually striking way
self-expression → very freeing
legends
less emphasis on individual data mappings, no explicit story
more about emotions the environment incites and
an implied story with a reveal
