Every year the Chicago Tribune editorial board sends surveys to all candidates in Chicago-relevant races. This Tarbell app is fed the candidates' responses which it formats along with a comprehensive index of all candidates. As board endorsements roll in, the homepage will serve double duty as a voting guide.
This collaborative project pulled together a compelling narrative about the 1968 Chicago riots and their lasting impact on certain South Side neighborhoods. I worked with reporters, photo editors and my graphics colleagues to combine lots of visual and even an audio element to craft the most impactful presentation possible.
The one-stop shop for all you need to know about Ryan Marx, journalist and web developer. It's also probably the very site from which you found this repo.
This collarboration with a couple of the Chicago Tribune's resident historians covers the Windy City's rich history of class warfare. It's presented in a flexible timeline rig which I built for our Tarbell-based workflow and consumes data from a Google spreadsheet.
This dashboard/tracker let sports fans watch as the Cubs fought to defend their historic world championship. Data was collected and updated nightly in collaboration with the sports staff.
The "blue island" in a red midwest was a theme we tackled in several ways following Donald Trump's presidential election. These charts try to shed light on what happened by exploring the red/blue midwestern divide via several demographics.
This collection of charts, built in collboration with the Graphics Editor, compares the demographics of all the finalist bids for Amazon's new headquarters. The charting is driven with sass and python. The only javascript used is for the toggle menu. This was a quick turnaround project with my editor, who collected the information but left it to…

The Tribune's intrepid food writers sampled each and every concession at both Chicago baseball stadiums. This app organizes their findings in an easy-to-sort and easy-to-filter format and even will help you find them at the ballpark.
This bit of original reporting tracked the recovery of highrise construction in Chicago using crane permits. It takes a simple dataset and presents it multiple ways while highlighting the various projects which got off the ground in 2016.
It's important for our readers to be able to find themselves in our journalism, and one's own school/district is at the top of that list. Much of this app relies on a delicate interplay between sass styling and javascript to offer a quick and accessible look at each district. I built this app in collaboration with our top data reporter and anoth…
Arguably the most important story the Tribune published in 2017 was an in-depth investagation into the corruption and inequality underlying Cook County's property-tax system. I designed the story rig as well as many of the charts and interactives contained therein. The content is delivered to the app via [ArchieML](http://archieml.org/). A subse…
Tribune photographer Abel Uribe spent months taking portraits and interviews or DACA recipients, aka "dreamers." For a multimedia project of this scope and nuance, a simple photo gallery will not suffice. The goal here was simple and elegant, letting the people behind the various media shine.
I was tasked with designing and building the presentation for one of this year's showpiece offerings: an investigation on the way water and water rates are used to subjugate poor communities and communities of color in the Chicago region. Colleagues created the visual assets and I collected them into a content flow using [ArchieML](http://archie…
