The Cosmic Portrait by National Institute of Design(NID Bengaluru)

The purpose of this project is to create a data biopic of Nadieh Bremer, an exceptional information designer, and present it in the form of a tribute to her work. The visuals should match their inspirations, philosophies, interests, processes, and metaphors. I am highly motivated by her work ans she was my first inspiration to get into the world of information design.

Nadieh Bremer is a freelancing data visualisation designer and artist. In 2011 she graduated as an astronomer from the University of Leiden. What is better than to represent her in terms of stars and constellations themselves?

So for that I started collecting data from her personal website and segmented it on the basis of location, time, category, and hierarchy.

The final output is an interactive web-based poster where her life is depicted in the form of constellations with her being in the centre of the universe. Each constellation tells a major chunk of her story and is inspired by various constellations spotted across the globe.
