Brief
Speaking for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation at ‘The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria’ replenishment conference, Bill Gates needed to tell the story of how the Fund’s investment has improved healthcare around the world.
Solution
We worked with the speech writer at the Foundation to identify the key story points that needed visualising. We then storyboarded the presentation alongside the script, before designing the information graphics themselves. These were then turned into animations for the final presentation.
My contribution
I designed the data visualisation devices and worked with an animator to translate these into motion graphics. As part of the team I helped conceptualise different device types, before executing the final solutions in Adobe Illustrator.

Airport Baggage Targets Visualization

All data anonymised
Quantumblack investigated optimising the allocation of arriving baggage from the gate to terminal for a major airport hub in Asia. I designed a way of seeing if the time for the bag to arrive at baggage reclaim was over or under target.
The size of the bubble is the number of flights per year that gate receives, the size of the circle segment is the potential target improvement, the inner ring is the first bag target, and the outer ring is the lsat bag target, with the circumference of the circle being the range from 0% to 100%.

QuantumBlack was commissioned to produce a series of information graphics to help Formula One viewers understand the new rules following an engine formula change.
As lead designer and domain expert, I drove the information design aspect of the television graphics, whilst complying with the 2013/14 F1 brand guidelines. QuantumBlack partnered with a leading UK visual effects house to ensure the designs were up to broadcast standard.
The new graphics package was seen by a global audience of 425m people during the 2014 season, acting as a visual aid to the commentators of global media networks throughout the races.

QuantumBlack was commissioned to produce a data-driven artwork for an information design exhibition with the theme 'Less Than A Second'. We used our expertise in data science and design to produce an informative and dynamic Formula 1 race chart that looked at less than a second gap between drivers per lap. The exhibition was a great success and led to more work with Formula 1.
The ‘Less than a Second’ in Formula One poster design
Graphic explaining the visual break-down of how to read the poster. The white reference line is Lewis Hamilton’s race at the 2013 British Grand Prix, and the the other colours show the drivers ahead and behind Hamilton during course of the race and by how much time.
Race graphic without annotations
The graphic’s circular visual signature can be applied to other Formula One races. Belgium’s circuit (first graphic) has lots of opportunities to overtake, so the timing lines have lots of gaps between drivers. Whereas Monaco (third graphic) is a tight street circuit and so the lines are close together, showing close racing.
The graphic was used to conceptualise a race scenario builder, in this example showing how weather might effect the end of the race posibilities from lap 42 onwards
