Concept
People use diverse ways to show their favorites.
For example, the popularity of a singer not only could be revealed from music website, but also picture website.
I tried to find the connections between these singers and did comparison of the popularity of their arts works in different types social medias(Instagram and Spotify).

Query
I used the API from Instagram and Spotify.
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/
Spotify: https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/

Preliminary sketches
The first idea of first version is the picture moving along with the soundwave of specific song.

First Version Sketch:




Second Version Sketch:



Process
First Version:


I found this form(first version) was not enough to present the data itself, so I did some revision.




Final result
Every circle represents a singer. The line means these two artists have some connections. Clicking the circle, you can see the detail info about this singer. The popularity of his/her/their every album, every track. And the comparion of popularity of each song in Instagram and Spotify.
