It's not secret. WE LOVE DATA. And challenges...
When the Blue Ridge Corridor Alliance approached us about creating a report for their data project, we couldn't say no! Their team supplied us with an 80+ page Google doc with all of the data and findings for the report. It was our job to design a system to show the data in a cohesive and visually appealing format.
We decided that a corridor map that repeated for each section would be the best way to center the reader as they went through the report. Each section had data points and specific locations for callouts. The map visual gave us a common point to discuss neighborhoods, commercial space, green spaces, hotels, access and transportation. We also created a map/key for each of the ten districts highlighted in the corridor.
This project is still a favorite many years later. Digging into data and making it accessible and interesting for people to view and to understand ranks at the top of the list for yellowDog skills. More please!
