hyt-Looking-Outward-07: Data Visualization

When I was searching for the project, I was intrigued by Project Ukko, a seasonal wind and weather visualizing web application developed by Truth and Beauty Operations. It is a elegant-looking interfaces that utilizes dashed lines and colors to reflect a thematic map with wind prediction  data around the world. Particularly, the categories of quantitative data are visualized through attributes such as opacity, line’s thickness, angle, and color hues. And on the side panels, you would also have access to the more detailed analytic data for further reference. The final results were produced through d3.js, coffeescript, pixi.js. I think this link is also helpful in terms of understanding the designer’s process of having the creative solution: http://truth-and-beauty.net/projects/ukko.
