Between Ourselves

Data visualization.

There is no relationship in the world more marked by prejudices and assumptions than the one between genders. Whether we like it or not, these stereotypes influence our behaviour towards each other constantly.

Within the scope of the project "Between Ourselves" we explored the world of data visualization in mixed-gender teams and through different formats.

01 Data Dialogues

The charts depict how many men and women were infected with a sexually transmitted infection between the years 2000 and 2015. Each gender is devided into three age-sets:15 to 39 years, 40 to 69 years and above 70 years.

Both charts visualize the same data but in different emphases:on the right in form of a conventional bar graph – for better legibility – and left – more elaborately designed which is more appealing to the viewer.

02 Data Identities

The fictional logo was conceived for the German Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth which is devided into five departments which are connected to each other to different degrees:family, seniors, women and equality, children and youth as well as voluntary service.

The basic framework consists of strokes with consistent widths. that connect five corner points representing each department. The connection between these departments is highlighted through a higher stroke width.
