Collaboration is at the core of how we work at Revisual Labs. Over the years, we've worked with journalists, designers, illustrators, developers, writers, data analysts, and the like. And every collaboration has resulted in outputs that are incredibly special.

June was a landmark month for us at RVL—our studio officially turned 3 years old! 🎂
 We had a lot to talk about last month, with 9,319 messages exchanged on Slack—a 59% increase in chatter from May. We balanced 8 running projects, of which we wrapped up 3.

How does one visualise transformation driven by collaboration between multiple stakeholder groups? Our solution was to turn it into a puzzle! As part of a recent project with the Consortium for Agroecological Transformations (CAT), we created a series of puzzles that map out the ecosystem of change.

There is a table showing stakeholders mapped to actions. This was our dataset.

In data visualization design, we often assume the goal is to minimise the effort required to 'see' the data. And that adding support a title and annotation is the route to memorability. But sometimes making something more effortful achieves memorability and understanding more effectively...

Four months ago, some of the coolest minds on the Indian internet asked: If data is the new soil, what will you grow? That’s how @vizchitra.bsky.social was born. Now, we’re ready to share it with the world. What is it? Who are we? What are we creating? Stay tuned to find out! 🌱
The image features a modern, minimalistic design with a white background. The text in the center reads:

"DATA IS THE NEW OIL SOIL, SO WHAT WILL YOU GROW?"

The word "OIL" is crossed out and replaced with "SOIL," emphasizing a shift in perspective. The word "GROW" is in large, bold letters.

Below, in smaller text, it says:
"We’re creating something special. Stay tuned."

The design includes geometric lines in pastel shades of orange, blue, and pink, connected by dark circular nodes, creating a structured yet dynamic layout.

📊 Insight Out: Week 16 🧵 A thread on how we collaborated with a researcher to design a survey visual aid that helps capture mothers’ perceptions of their children’s growth in Telangana, making data collection for their study more intuitive and engaging.
Research aid titled 'Insight out #16' showing a height chart with 16 children in a line-up from shortest to tallest, wearing different colored clothing (maroon, yellow, and teal). Three illustrated women in saris at the bottom indicate whether their child would be on the shorter side, middle, or taller side. Created as a research aid for child nutrition in Telangana.
