The project I looked at was Flight Patterns by Aaron Koblin. As I was scrolling through the list of projects, this one stood out to me. There was so much happening I couldn’t look away. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much information on the site to let me know how this project came to be. From what I found on the site, they put in information from the FAA into a program that allowed them to visualize the information. This to me is really interesting, mostly because it resembles the most to what we are taught in design about being able to translate quantitive information visually to communicate a certain aspect of it.
It is also incredible how beautiful the outcome of these numbers and patterns are. By giving a visual aspect of the information, it also gives a better understanding of exactly how much america uses planes in concentrated areas.
