THE STORY OF THIS PROJECT

Client’s Problem: “I recently completed a survey and now I need a way to analyze the results and share them with my audience.”

Jazzfuel.com is a professional development platform and online community that supports jazz artists in booking live performances, releasing recordings and promoting their work through traditional and social media.

In the fall of 2020, Matt Fripp, founder of jazzfuel.com, conducted a survey of the readers of his weekly newsletter to assess how the pandemic had impacted their livelihoods. He needed an analysis of the survey results and a user-friendly way to share that information. To solve these two problems, I designed and built an online interactive data visualization that communicated the findings of his survey.

Step 1 - Discovery

My very first step was to meet with the client and determine what his needs were for the project.

From our conversation, I learned that his goal was to create a visual that:

quickly summarized the survey’s key points of information
could be posted online and shared via his email newsletter
allowed users to filter the data by demographic subgroup (location, age, etc.)
stimulated further discussion amongst members of the community

Step 2 - Sketch

Next, I made a rough sketch of what the visualizaion would look like and what information would go where on the screen.

Step 3 - Prep Data

I took the granular, row-by-row data from the survey responses and I organized it in a way that would allow it to be translated into clear visuals.

Step 4 - Build

To build out the visualization, I chose to use Google Data Studio. I chose Data Studio because it can easily be shared (via a link) and/or embedded into a website.
