One of my favorite classes at Macalester was Advanced Cartography and Geovisualization. For one of the assignments, I was tasked with creating a dynamic visualization using a new or somewhat unfamiliar platform. Interested in learning about animation in Adobe, I decided to create a series of short animations to illustrate concepts in fire ecology (a field that I have long been curious about but have not studied in detail). Wanting to stay up to date with Esri Story Maps, I decided to use this as a platform to host my animations.
Below is the link to my final dynamic visualization submission. I am proud of the progress I made using Adobe Animate and I’m excited to use this skill for future projects both in my professional life and just for fun. In particular, I would like to revisit animated cartography and dynamic storytelling to see how I might expand beyond my 2018 California wildfires map.
