Description
Called "Home and Away," this mapping of coalition casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan was created by Stamen Design and published live on CNN.com. Working within a restrained palette of blacks, whites, and grays, Stamen explored the sobering human cost of two wars in the Middle East by mapping casualties and helping people tell their stories. CNN connected the maps to CNN iReport, enabling people to post memories and share stories about their lost loved ones. The project demonstrated how data visualization can put a human face on conflict statistics.
