Skyline Visuals
Lauren Redder
You've heard of re-branding before...well this is kind of like that. A little white ago I sat down with the band Hydrogen Skyline (www.hydrogenskyline.com) and talked to them about creating a new image for their band. I wanted to share in this blog what came from that collaboration and a little behind the scenes at some of the composite work I did.
1. Bring something to the table - We literally sat around a table at a coffee shop when talking about this project and everyone brought their ideas to share. Don't be the person in a collaboration to show up to the table empty handed, bring ideas, bring good juju, bring something!
2. Be Flexible - Don't bring ideas that are not flexible to the table and be willing to have ideas shot down, especially to meet the needs of the client. We all think our ideas are the best ideas, it is an unfortunate truth that a lot of times they aren't...but that's why you collaborate, so if your ideas suck someone can help make them un-suck.
3. Do your homework - The other day I sat down to have a meeting with a potential client and they hadn't even looked at my website, they had just heard I was good. Not only was it insulting to me, but it was a waste of time because they didn't know what I specialized in. Before I met with the band I had looked at other band album covers, seen what was popular in their genre, and come up with ideas that would work for both of us...they had done the same. Don't be too cool for research and homework, you're clients will appreciate it!

Skyline queries have wide-ranging applications in fields that involve multi-criteria decision making, including tourism, retail industry, and human resources. By automatically removing incompetent candidates, skyline queries allow users to focus on a subset of superior data items (i.e., the skyline), thus reducing the decision-making overhead. However, users are still required to interpret and compare these superior items manually before making a successful choice. This task is challenging because of two issues. First, people usually have fuzzy, unstable, and inconsistent preferences when presented with multiple candidates. Second, skyline queries do not reveal the reasons for the superiority of certain skyline points in a multi-dimensional space. To address these issues, we propose SkyLens, a visual analytic system aiming at revealing the superiority of skyline points from different perspectives and at different scales to aid users in their decision making. Two scenarios demonstrate the usefulness of SkyLens on two datasets with a dozen of attributes. A qualitative study is also conducted to show that users can efficiently accomplish skyline understanding and comparison tasks with SkyLens.
#14::SKYLINE_EXTENDED:: is a stage version belonging to the SKYLINE series created for ECOSS that is held within the IDN PLUS festival at the Mercat de les Flors in homage to Nria Font.
#14::SKYLINE_EXTENDED:: is a show consisting of dance, music and live visuals where two female dancers, a female performer and a male musician interact with the spaces and stage scenery and props in a highly visual show.
The four characters explore through relational semantics between body, movement, light and sound, inspaired by the idea of an inverted panoptic where each individual lends itself to being observed and confined within its own definition of itself, as in a self-digital version of Big Brother.
Located in the realm of the live arts, #14::SKYLINE_EXTENDED:: is a site-specific stage project in which dance, performance languages, music, audio-visuals, sculpture and the technological devices designed by Kniclab come together to create interactions involving the body, graphics and sound.
I am looking to build a skyline chart as per the one posted below. This is my attempt at it using a matrix visual. I would like to have some help to improve on it. I definitely would like to add more info on the cells and further conditioning.
Visuals: On a black background is many colorful copies of the word "SKYLINE" in a heavy font fly up to the screen. Then, the background turns white as a silver copy of the word flips up from below with the word "VIDEO" in CG Omega font in a black oblong attached to it. The word "presents" in black appears below the whole thing. In the letters in "SKYLINE", you can see the London skyline, with the Tower Bridge.
In this short video, three years of urban development and change across South Lake Union, Denny Triangle, Belltown, Queen Anne, and Westlake are captured from the Space Needle. The change block by block, day by day, is incredibly transformative and impressive. Footage from the Space Needle will continue to track change of the city skyline for years to come.
