The brief was to create a complete publishing project about something you are passionate about. With a passion for data science, I was drawn to the idea that maps can reveal more than just direction — they can tell stories. The visual language of this project is held together by a 5 colour palettes I curated after testing, adjusting opacity, and layering textures. After miles of walking the stretch from 59th Street to the tip of Manhattan I designed a newspaper of five maps that visualize this area through structure, heat, time, transit, and taste, using data as a lens to peel back what’s built, what’s moving, and what remains.
