Hi, I'm Chris Ryan
I'm a Senior Art Editor at Nature news in London.
I enjoy designing interactive graphics with D3, Three.js, PixiJS and Svelte, wrangling data with Python and animating with Adobe After Effects.
Projects
These are some of my favourite projects from the last few years:
Timeline and 3D animation built with Svelte, Three.js and GSAP. Featuring an insulin molecule downloaded from Protein Data Bank and processed with Blender.
Produced by Nature Portfolio.
Full-screen scrollytelling map built with d3. Data processed with pandas and d3-geo, recorded in a Jupyter Notebook and uploaded to GitHub.
Written by Amy Maxmen and edited by Brendan Maher.
Built with a customised version of the d3-sankey plugin to allow countries to be sorted by continent or by volume of people. The code for this graphic is available on GitHub.
Static graphics and colour scheme by Jasiek Krzysztofiak. Written by Declan Butler and edited by Brendan Maher.
Timeline and circos diagram built with Svelte and D3. For performance the background animation is rendered using PixiJS.
Produced by Nature, Nature Genetics and Nature Reviews Genetics.
