Data Visualisation

A Data Visualization project that shows the harmful effects of climate change in our immediate lives. Using a combination of digital and analog techniques, data was used as an effective storytelling medium.

Process

During sketching and prototyping, I tested multiple visual iterations to balance clarity and emotional resonance. Final visuals combined hand-plotted elements with digital composition to retain a tactile, human quality. Pastel yellows represented pollen levels, while red accents denoted mortality linked to respiratory issues.

Ultimately, this project views data as a storyteller—one capable of sparking meaningful conversations about urgent environmental issues.

Using datasets from Penn State’s Centre for Pollination Research, I examined rising temperatures, shifting species patterns, and increasing pollutants to uncover links between air quality, climate change, and respiratory health.

Project Overview

Project Overview

This project explores how data can communicate the often-invisible impacts of climate change on our daily lives. Understanding that climate change tends to be imperceptible to the human eye, I aimed to transform complex datasets into an accessible and emotionally resonant story. The core research questions guiding this work were:


/How can data reveal unseen truths about the environment?

/How can those invisible patterns help us better understand our own lives?
