Data tot op de bodem
Data-animatie voor Rijkswaterstaat / Deltares / NCK
Horizonchart about the crisis of credits 2007 – 2008
The horizon chart appeared to most effective way to visualize the dropping of stocks on the Amsterdam Exchange from January 2007 to December 2008. All funds – without exception – turned red. As the visualisation method needed some explanation, I made the animation above. The annotations, highlighting crucial moments in the financial crisis, were crucial to make the datavisualisation also informative.
