Mood Data Visualization
A poster that visualizes the emotional arc of every New York Times headline from 2018.
The Challenge
Developed over a weekend workshop with Eric Gunther (Sosolimited) and Jackie Littman (Huge), experimenting with new ways to visualize data.
Advised by Eric Gunther and Jackie Littman
This poster was developed over a weekend workshop with Eric Gunther (Sosolimited) and Jackie Littman (Huge), who prompted us to experiment with new ways to visualize data. Working with a database of every New York Times headline from 2018, I isolated key emotive words and phrases with color, then abstracted the block of over ten thousand words to draw attention to points of prolonged emotion or areas of stark contrast throughout the year.
