The Lens
Data viz and editorial design for an investigative article on surveillance apparatus in New Orleans
Brief
“Neighborhood Watched” is an investigative article detailing the surveillance apparatus in New Orleans. This project is the first standalone website published by the Lens. Accounting for limited resources, and referencing the Lens’ brand elements, I designed a flexible layout and design system for the project. I also created data-visualizations and built interactive graphics. I worked closely with journalist Michael Isaac Stein and researcher Caroline Sinders on the project.
Role
Designer and developer (data-viz)
Interactive graphics
I cleaned and worked with datasets provided by the journalist to create maps with custom styling (using Mapbox) to show known and unknown surveillance cameras locations, presented in parallax format. I produced static graphics and charts and iterated on based on editorial feedback.
