Thank you! π€ I looked into _a lot_ of design directions (and some I made some early tests for) before finally finding something that felt right.
I thought about a blog actually, but I'm simply too busy right now to take on such an undertaking for such a big project π«
That would've been fun, but these were separately created
Birds + data was just "in the air" it seems ;)
Thank you!! π€
I really tried to go all in on the details, but also put in as many small nuggets as I could (e.g. not dataviz, but you can actually hover each of the bird illustrations at the top and see their names appear ;) )
And if you can't get enough of birds + dataviz, then this seems very interesting!
Thank you very much for sharing! ππ
LOL, yes, very much agree, and also makes sense π
Thank you! π€
Thanks, glad you like it!
I can totally imagine meeting a Steller's Jay makes it your spark bird, they really stand out!
Thank you! ^_^
I think peers in the dataviz world will back me in saying that Nadieh's work blows our mind (she even made one for LOTR fans^^). It's AMAZING, so creative and ingenious!
This one β¬οΈ is just magical and wonderful β€οΈβ€οΈ I recommend everyone check this out!!
Thank you Alberto! π€ Especially coming from you with your vast amount of experience that really means a lot β€οΈ
Thank you! π€π€
Thank you for your very kind words Mehdi! π
Thank you very much for those wonderful compliments and sharing it on! π€ I'm very happy to hear that you like it :D
Thank you Moritz! π€
(there's so many small thing that I tried to add, I think I might be the only one who realizes some of them are there π (but I couldn't stop myself))
Ooooh, yes, I'd like to get me one (as tame as) that please XD
Thank you! ^^
Thanks Andy! π€
Haha, I guess we simply need something fun in our lives during these times and birds are sure to put some smiles on your face ;)
Thank you! βΊοΈ
Thanks! :D (and thank you for sharing ^^)
Thank you Nicholas! π€
Thank you Will! π It was a lot of fun during the design phase to try and see how many visuals I could make based on birds, nests, eggs or feathers, haha (I did have to reign myself in a bit as some ideas were simply getting too time consuming to create π (with all of them together))
Thank you! ππ
And another big thank you to @simonrogers.bsky.social and @albertocairo.com for their unwavering support and enthusiasm and making it possible for Google Trends to sponsor this piece π
I want to give a big, big thank you to Emily Barone for her enormous help in finding the story within the mountain of data and plots I buried myself in at the start of this project and writing a fantastic story π
If you enjoy data, visuals, photos of adorable birds or just neat internet things, please check it out, and please share it onward if you enjoyed it! π¦ (as I'm self-publishing this I could really _really_ use your help to spread the word, thank you! πππ)
Full of custom, interactive visuals (a giant nest, a giant egg, the US made up of eggs!) to explore peopleβs experience with birds. Itβs full of insights, funny outliers and visuals you can lose yourself in trying to explore all that the vast amount of bird data has to offer.
After several months of analysis, design, drawing, writing, and coding (and a little bit of birdwatching), it turned into a fully dataviz-driven, vibrant, whimsical and fun interactive story for birders and anybody even remotely interested in birds π¦
π£ NEW! Iβve just released the BIGGEST and perhaps most creative project Iβve ever worked on!
βSearching for Birdsβ searchingforbirds.visualcinnamon.com π€
A project, an article, an exploration that dives into the data that connects humans with birds, by looking at how we search for birds.
Thank you! Happy to read you're liking many of the attentions to detail that I've worked hard on ^_^
