Explore Explain S5 E2: Jess Carr

Welcome to the second episode of the fifth season of Explore Explain, a long-form video and podcast series all about data visualisation design.

In this episode, it was a pleasure to welcome Jess Carr, a UI/UX Engineer at GSK based in Bath, UK. We explore the story behind a passion project Jess worked on to visualise analysis of the (spoiler: declining) use of text on the front covers of Vogue magazine over the last 22 years, titled ‘Since When Does Vogue Hate Text?‘. This project was a winner of ‘The Pudding Cup’ 2023 gold prize so it’s a great piece to dissect!
