Welcome to the second episode of the fourth season of Explore Explain, a long-form video and podcast series about data visualisation design.
In this episode I am delighted to welcome Will Chase, Visual Stories Editor, and Jared Whalen, Data Visual Journalist, both working at Axios and based in the US. We explore the story behind their work on a project to visualise the changing trends in popularity and dimensions of pickup trucks ‘Pickup Trucks: From Workhorse to Joyride‘.
- Will’s tweeted process thread with loads of detail about creating the animated trucks sequence
- The copied ‘FuckCarsReddit’ version
- Nice article by Chesca Kirkland on Nightingale ‘Behind the Scenes with Axios Data Visualization‘
