Friends of the High Line / The Art of the High Line datavisualization

The communications department of the High Line New York assigned STUDIO TERP to design a datavisualization for their High Line Fall Members Magazine 2016. They provided a data-set of the artists that exhibited or performed during the years on/at the High Line Art. The assignment was to show some insights in the data meanwhile given the freedom to apply a unique approach and style. The print-size was defining but the design also would have to account for a cross page alignment with a saddle stitch in the middle. After several sketches and ideas the decision was made to show all artists in a radial layout and to overcome readability problems the circle was split down the middle.
