Week 2 – Exploration on Tech, Art, and Design

The team got alignment with stakeholders (start with a landing page focusing on interactive data) and explored more on tech, art and design.

Tech: We decided to use React as the front-end framework since it’s easier to start with. For data visualization, we’re planning to use libs such as Echarts and Nivo. For animations, react-transition and react-spring would be good choices.

The illustration and art style have been determined as well. The Artist in the team started designing the logo and poster of the project.

In terms of design, the team designed the personas and user journey together. The 1st MVP will be a landing page with a intro, a data viz (chart/graph) and a story.
