Nasa API

Focus: Using APIs to represent data through design

The goal of this project was to use a JSON API of our choice to generate an infographic.
My chosen API was a NASA Api for asteroids that flew near earth on September 7th of 2015. I used the information provided by the API to convey attributes about each asteroid, including the size, orbital distance and speed. These metrics are conveyed through simple form and motion in a minimalistic visual experience.
