The 44 Days That Changed Music
The Need
An academic infographic design project. The story is remarkable on its own: seven albums released within 44 days in the summer of 1991, reshaping music for a decade. But in its usual form it's a list of dates and sales figures. Dates don't explain why the moment mattered, and big numbers stop meaning anything once they get big enough.
The Solution
A Hebrew scrollytelling site built as a linear journey with clear stops: a timeline that collapses a full year into a 44-day window, a before/after comparison that demonstrates the shift in sound, album and band cards readers pick by curiosity, a scale visualization (a stack of 100 million CDs against the edge of space), and a closing set of shareable moments. Fully RTL, with typography and motion that speak the visual language of the early '90s.
The Outcome
A few minutes of reading that explain why 44 specific days redefined a decade, while leaving the reader to choose how deep to go. For me it doubled as a lab for translating instructional design principles like cognitive load, chunking, and learner choice into a visual story that lives in the browser.
