Last semester I took a course in InfoVis with an interesting bunch of folks who produced an impressive set of projects. My classmate, Katie McCurdy, did the footwork of blogging about each of the projects, her entry about which can be found here.
You can go to my portfolio page about the project to read more about our project, The CVGA Archive Visualization, which used data from the GiantBomb website as the backbone for an interface design that allowed for the exploration of video games in new and meaningful ways.
