Newport Folk Festival “Historical Record”
The cover art sets the scene with a crowd shot of Fort Adams - both the record sleeve and record itself deal with venue and crowd size data.The inside cover represents all genres of music performed at the festival over time. As you can see from a glance, the festival started with fewer genres represented and increased dramatically in the 2000s with the hiring of producer Jay Sweet.The back cover features the artists who performed the most at Newport Folk Festival. The tree map groups artists by genre.The record compares crowd size from the first year of the festival to the most recent year, 2022 and features a data sonification element—one track plays crowd size in audience volume.Finally, there’s a pull-out poster. The network diagram shows who has performed together at the festival and separates out each grouping of artists by genre.

I created this mock-up historical record for my master’s program in Data Analysis and Visualization at MICA. As you can see in the sketch, many of the elements remain consistent with my original idea. Some chart types change, but overall, the idea worked.
