Visualizing Biking Access and Inequality

Overview

This presentation was the final deliverable of the Telling Stories with Data Course, taught by Christopher Goranson, in Fall 2020. We were tasked with expressing a data-driven narrative on a  topic of our choosing. We were expected to apply data visualization techniques such as color, text, layout, and chart type.

I chose biking and social justice because it was an issue that I knew it was an intersection that existed but didn't yet understand how they were connected.

The Process

Stage One

I started by collecting data sources for this project and conducting preliminary background research. Then, I created mockups of my potentially story map flow based on the data. This informed how I decided my first sketches.

Stage Two

See below my initial sketches for each of the data sources I compiled.

Stage Three

See below for my second iteration of data visualizations. I created a user research protocol to get feedback from end-users.
