GigDots is a visualisation of music events in London. It displays gigs happening up to
the next seven days by visualising their location, genre and popularity.
It allows a user to easily discover a wealth of information about music in the city, such as:
- The most musically active and vibrant areas.
- Events that are the most popular/talked about.
- Areas that are particularly good for certain genres.
- Events that are free.
I designed and developed GigDots with my good friend Daniele De Matteis.
