Arcturus Aldebaran
Bird's Eye View Of The Ranking
An attempt for a three dimensional visualisation based on the Economist's Intelligence Unit (EIU) Data that stemmed out of the EIU best city contest 2012.
What is shown here is the "path distance" of each city from the city of Vancouver that happened to achieve the top score in the proposed ranking.
The concept of the visualisation is that societies struggle (or should be trying) to push their cities towards a more improved state (as this is expressed through the EIU data in this case).
I felt that the 3D aspect required a bit more work so that every element contributes to the subject and i decided to hold back on them and keep refining them. The little figure, or the ball marker could be scaled according to the GDP for example, to try and convey even more information rather than being ornamental
