Tangible data viz
This project delves into the concept of representing data in a tangible manner by utilizing a dataset obtained from personal Instagram stories posted since 2019. The dataset is carefully analyzed to extract valuable insights, enabling the categorization of the data. From a range of innovative ideas to represent the data tangibly, a long calendar format is selected as the foundation. Within this format, data is encoded using colors, shapes, and the height of acrylic tokens. The final data visualization provides significant insights into the impact of work, education, and COVID-19 on my life, offering a unique and tangible representation of the dataset.
Scematic hometown mapping
This project delves into the concept of comparing an actual map with the cognitive representation of a familiar location in our minds. Within this project, diverse cartographic information, such as landmarks, road systems, intersections, water features, parks, and more, are intricately woven into the mental depiction of the location. This integration meticulously preserves the accurate spatial relationships and proximities between various components. Furthermore, an assortment of color palettes, layouts, typographic styles, and other design elements were systematically refined to harmonize with the chosen metaphor that encapsulates the essence of the location.
MBTI Data portrait
This project aimed to delve into and comprehend the systems of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Through the categorization of individuals based on the MBTI and real-life comparisons, it was observed that the classifications are more of a spectrum rather than absolute categories. To visually represent this spectrum, a visualization utilizing basic shapes and colors was developed. The interactive process involved users inputting their MBTI type and percentages, which resulted in the generation of their unique badge. The coding aspect of the project utilized the p5.js framework, enabling the creation of dynamic and visually engaging visuals. Overall, the project provided an innovative and visually intuitive way to explore and understand the nuances of MBTI types.
Isometric cities
Isometric cities is Inspired by 'Invisible Cities',it seeks to translate the vivid imagery and intricate symbolism found within Italo Calvino's iconic work into visually compelling isometric illustrations. Drawing from the descriptive richness of the book, the cityscape was crafted to encapsulate the essence of its narrative, seamlessly blending architectural elements with symbolic motifs. This endeavor, offerS viewers a fresh perspective on Calvino's literary masterpiece, inviting them to explore the fantastical realms of "Invisible Cities" through the lens of immersive visual storytelling
Icons & Ideograms
This project focused on the selection of a public sector website, specifically the IRCTC railway booking site.
