5 Charts that Changed the World - BBC/Royal Society
Data visualisation helps us to understand the world. It also has the power to change it.
"Data visualisation can sometimes be used for disinformation. Sometimes with disastrous consequences."
This animation was a treat to work on, especially when working with such well researched and written material. I chose to use a collage technique which allowed me to combine the original charts with shapes, textures and vintage photographs and prints to bring the history of data visualisation to life.
