All of the Olympic events and medals since 1924
Given that it’s kind of topical at the moment, though for shame it will no longer be by the time the project is finished, I’d like to map the data shown here, of all the Olympic events and medals awarded since 1924. Hopefully, at the close of the 2014 Sochi Olympics, I’ll be able to add that data to the set as well.
I imagine it’ll be mapped by country, with differing text sizes and colors to account for the number of medals earned and in what year and such. I’m not certain of how, exactly it will look.
Tools:
Excel (advanced), obviously the map the data.
I’d like to brush up on Processing (moderate) , and think the learning curve would be the least steep given all of the information provided in the textbook.
Then I’ll clean everything up in Illustrator (advanced) for final publication.
