Romeo & Juliet

Some time ago at Uni I created this poster. It is actually a data visualisation of the Romeo and Juliet story. Every color represents a character, the amount of color is the amount of lines in the story and the intensity of the colour represents the sentimental value of the lines (based on the analysis of an online API).

In the end the poster is much more than a data visual to me, it is also about looking at data in abstract way, looking at a story from the perspective of a computer and creating a way of visualising data that is, much like art, is intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power.
