Advocate IIIWeek 2 - From Air to Emissions
Hello everyone!
For this week's task, I focused on three main topics: air travel, tourism, and CO₂ footprint. I combined multiple datasets related to these topics and build some interesting visuals to highlight key data. My goal was to make the report as dynamic as possible and visually pleasing. Everything you see was created using Power BI’s built-in visuals, with no custom visuals.
The report starts the way many journies do: with takeoff from the runway! ✈️
The first page highlights the number of flights per capita. I used a world map with gradient coloring to emphasize regions where flying is most common. All three main pages follow the same layout for consistency, with only the data changing, to keep navigation simple for users. On top of the page I used visual cards to highlight some key insights, and it also includes dynamic card visual on the midlle so you can select countries from slicer or visuals to compare them:
I added some niche features like animated icons to switch between a flat map and a globe view. I also used the new tile slicer to create custom gradient labels, which double as slicers:
Each page also includes custom tooltips. Hovering over the map or bar chart dynamically zooms into each country and provides key insights, such as how a country ranks compared to others.
From bottom corner you can open overlay that gives you more information on the data source and how each measure is calculated:
The second page follows the same layout but focuses on the number of tourists, showcasing the most popular tourist destinations. I designed custom color themes for each page to create a clear visual distinction between them. This part took the most of my time, as I had to adjust colors across many different elements. The report is designed with accessibility in mind as the color themes are colorblind safe (using one palette at time) and all elements also include alt text. For these I utilized the help from a friend (Copilot).
The third page highlights CO₂ emissions from air travel, maintaining the same structure.
So where does it all come together? Well, on the final page! The overview page presents the full story on how tourism is increasing, how much of our emissions come from traveling, and most importantly to make some kind of impact, last section offers alternative travel methods to consider for your next trip:
I really hope you like it!
