Projects with Infographics, Maps and Data

A passion of mine is exploring maps and datasets and creating vector maps or infographics with it. This page is dedicated to some examples of this work. The cover image is my latest project which analyzes and maps out all routes my cat took in the last 365 days. The data is collected from its Tractive GPS Tracker on the Tractive online platform and exported into QGIS.

City Infrastructure Logos

Creating Logos out of infrastructure and water landmarks. Created by exporting layers from QGIS and styling them in Adobe Illustrator. This is an ongoing project.

Cities in Germany

This map covers all cities in Germany I have ever been to. It might miss some cities which I don't remember (or was too young to know about). It is obviously a work in progress.

Endangered Birds and Cats

These graphs show some research regarding endangered Birds in Germany and their relation to an alleged endangerment through feral cats. It is created in Adobe Illustrator.

Vacation Photo Album

This is a project which replaced the classic photo album of a vacation trip through Europe by retracing the route in Google Maps, importing those into QGIS and reworking the exports in Adobe Illustrator. It was ultimately created as an interactive PDF in Adobe InDesign. Icons were created in Adobe Illustrator and satellite imagery optimized in Adobe Photoshop. There are some performance issues due to the huge scale satellite imagery. For the screenshots the private photos were replaced with images of the restaurants.
