Redefining the shape of data over here

[Gavin Potenza @gavinpotenza]

Been working on something called Areaform.

It generates area-based data viz that's nearly impossible to make by hand.

Latest experiment adds a diffusion layer. Less dashboard, more atmosphere. You stop reading it like a chart and start reading it more like weather.

Lead Datalander, @gavinpotenza has been whipping together some crazy tools in the past year, for some exciting brands.

but here's one for the creative community

[Gavin Potenza @gavinpotenza]

I needed a tool to help me layout moodboards, so I built a Figma plugin to do it for me. It’s surprisingly good at it.

Currently has 4 refined layouts: Grid, Editorial, Masonry, and Cluster. Handles up to 40 images and respects aspect ratios.

@mikesmith187 @elanmiller Thank you for the viz

Thinking about these logos that @wearedatalands worked on last year that didn't see the light of day.. until NOW
(but client still NDA!)

Our concept was to pull simple shapes together to create an iconic mark that could animate really well.

We got to talk to @jstrelioff & @daniellelaroy (@Goodside_Studio) who gave us a master class in battling impostor syndrome (and the importance of a vision board)! 🥳

[Gavin Potenza @gavinpotenza]

Lululemon Studio (f. Mirror) came to @wearedatalands to rethink and redesign their user scoring system.

We came up with a full visual design system that successfully encompasses not only the total score, but also each individual facet.

Here's how it turned out:

@heyhaigh we like the #RY 🤠

[Gavin Potenza @gavinpotenza]

Hey @a16z, your 2023 State of Crypto report could use some data visualization help.

Notably, when using circles, you're comparing the circle diameters, not the circle areas. Which makes for inaccurate comparisons.

Just to show the difference, I went ahead and fixed it

[Datalands® @wearedatalands]

Fun fact:

all of our projects have been plotted by hand, no code involved

Revisiting this editorialized dataviz piece made with @liz__meyer for Howler magazine back in ~2013. One of my favorites we've made, and our first real collab. Especially like the timeline.

Art directed by @thisisforest, who really helped elevate it.
