Data Visualization As Generative Narrative » Aaron

Here’s the first project for the NY Times collab. Ramsey and I worked on this one. We managed to find a relationship between bylines and creation date of articles posted by those authors within a 24 hr cycle. We were trying to explore how many times an author posts an article within a 24 hr timeframe. The axis is midnight, and the outer circle is 12 hrs. The stories we were trying to tell revolve who is producing the most articles, and when the writers are active throughout the day. The more articles posted by an author, the more dense that quadrant gets with their work.

i’m interested in maps and navigation. more specifically im interested in subways and urban cartography. so i was drawn to these 2 subway maps:

the first is called “NYC Subway Ridership 1905-2006″ which shows ridership density for each train and year using a scrubber.

and the 2nd is a redesign of the NY subway map. it’s a combo of the current NY subway map and massimo’s 1972 subway map:
