🦚 About the project

The Center for Economic Development (CEDA) at Ashoka University works on socio-economic data and facilitates informed discourse on key economic and social developments in India.

They wanted two of their economic dashboards redesigned for:

  1. Reducing complexity and making them more intuitive
  2. Making the visual language consistent across their various dashboards
  3. Making them visually attractive, clean, and modern
  4. Acquiring a new audience by facilitating the sharing of charts on social media

I was responsible for the complete end-to-end designs.

After the redesign:

Redesigned Agrimarket main page
The main page: the price-history data table gains prominence, and a time-series chart showing price change over time is the default
Legend hover isolating a line chart
Hovering over a price type in the legend isolates that line chart, others recede to 10% opacity
Heatmap view of commodity prices across India
Heatmap view to quickly compare the average price of a commodity across all of India

“We hired Priyank to redesign our dated suite of economic dashboards. And he did an excellent job. The redesigned dashboards are a treat to interact with. We will definitely work with him again.”

This was part of an overall redesign of three CEDA dashboards. The flagship one is documented in the SEDP case study.
