Mobile optimisation: The map transforms into an interactive globe for a better experience on smaller screens. See the whole thread to explore these different features of this map, and find the whole project on our website!

Data rigour: Visual and numerical confidence intervals accurately reflect ISN’s desk research, while a toggleable table view allows easy alphabetical or numeric comparisons. Customised colour scales: Sequential and categorical palettes for different kinds of indicators.

Interactive controls: A time slider tracks changes, alongside interactive colour legends that let you filter countries by category. Hovering over a region displays a tooltip with micro-visualisations of the indicator's change over time and highlights the country’s flag directly on the colour legend.

This week, we’re spotlighting this series of maps we made as the primary entry point to the ISN Global Kidney Health Atlas. These maps were replete with a host of features we'd like to shed light on. (Continued in thread)

July kept the momentum high at RVL as we carried our birthday energy straight into a fresh month! Our Slack channels stayed lively with 8,705 messages, a slight 6.5% dip from June. It was a month of heavy execution as we balanced 10 active projects and successfully wrapped up 1.

Although it took us a few trials to make Claude work for us seamlessly, we could immediately see the payoff. The largest advantage was for our designer, Ipshita, who could make design edits directly in real time. See the whole comic through the thread! The project case study is up on our website.

We worked with the International Organisation for Migration (IOM)’s Department of Humanitarian Response and Recovery (DHRR) to redesign their Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). Since the design was fairly straightforward, we decided to try and use Claude for the development of the website.

We experimented with Claude AI as the lead developer for a recent project, and here is the honest truth about how it went.

Last week, team RVL headed to Bangalore for #vizchitra2026, India's data visualisation conference! Returning for the second year in a row as co-organisers, attendees, volunteers, and proud silver sponsors, we loved reconnecting with old friends and trading ideas with fellow data viz-ards in India.

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.

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.

Earlier this year, we worked with the International Organisation for Migration (IOM)'s Department of Humanitarian Response and Recovery (DHRR) to design and develop an "Emergency IM Navigator", a digital guide for field personnel to refer to in both daily operations, and high-pressure circumstances.

How can a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) document be reimagined as a dynamic & engaging digital platform?

Hiring! We’re on the lookout for a talented Designer with 3+ years of experience to join our team!

Last Saturday, Revisual Labs turned 3! 🎂 As we continue to grow, evolve, and share work we are incredibly proud of, we’re also setting some big goals and making three wishes for the year to come.

This week, we’re looking back at 'Reviving the Arkavathi River', a data story we designed & developed for WWF India. A small component of the story, this map visualises variations in the Bashettihalli wetland's water levels over the span of 51 years.

These puzzles were a tad different from the usual jigsaw, with qualitative data informing our illustration and composition. Each piece represents a specific action by a stakeholder group. When they fit together, you see the entire intervention in motion.

The puzzle metaphor perfectly captures the client's role in coordinating action between stakeholders. We took it a step further by developing physical and digital puzzles to engage audiences at events and exhibitions. 🧩

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.

May was all about balancing deep focus in the studio with some much-needed time together. While our Slack channels were considerably quieter this month with 5,829 messages (a 64% drop from April’s record-setting chatter!), the numbers show we were just as productive as ever.

Our work came to life across multiple touchpoints: a physical and digital illustrated puzzle, an interactive network diagram, and several event collaterals — each designed to break down the nuances of a fairly complex system. Swipe to see how it all came together! 🧩✨

We wanted to communicate the impact of their 'landscape approach' and encourage collaboration between stakeholders.

Recently, we partnered with the Consortium for Agroecological Transformations to explore what their key mission — agroecological transformation — really looks like on the ground.

The project makes a case for Adaptive Social Protection (ASP) and why it matters especially for climate resilience and social protection programmes.

This week's Insight Out is about one of our more recent projects—a scrollytelling segment made for 'Bridging the gap: Building systems to withstand tomorrow’s shocks' with GIZ.

From travelling in our RV(L) while enjoying a lengthy and competitive game of Atlas 🗺️ (thanks to the maps we keep making at the studio), to learning card games, swimming, and dancing—this trip was full of laughter and making new memories.

Last week, RVL's Slack was silent... because all our conversations were happening in-person!
