A web-based cartographic application that I designed and developed during my graduate studies.
The Challenge
This initiative was designed to improve the user experience on trademap.org, a key research tool during my graduate studies in economics.
Solution
Developed an interactive cartographic dashboard with Carto’s API and displayed pie and bar charts via Google Charts API.
Methodology
The project’s data was sourced from trademaps.org, and I employed conventional cartography and UX design techniques to transform the data from tables and static charts into an engaging visual interface.
This project was created to address some of the user experience challenges of using trademap.org. For example, users have to click multiple times to create a simple geographic visualization of Bangladesh’s trading partners. In this redesigned version of the map, user do not have click as much and can navigate between the maps using the three buttons on the top right. The main goal of this project was to present the users with the option to navigate between Bangladesh’s trade data in a clean and a simple interface.
