The Work
Background
Mosaic America and San Jose State University teamed up to collect information about culturally significant places across the San Francisco Bay Area and together created a project called the Mosaic Atlas. Mosaic America came to Greeninfo Network to help visualize the data and assets that they collected, and to to update the data to geospatial formats.
GIN used Esri’s Experience Builder to create the web map, as the client already had an AGOL account and wanted to stay in the Esri ecosystem. GIN reviewed Mosaic Atlas’ existing design and products to match the design appropriately. The result is a map and interface design that is colorful, beautifully matching the Mosaic Atlas’ existing aesthetic.
Approach
Mosaic America and San Jose State University generated the initial data which GIN brought into ArcGIS Online (AGOL). IN AGOL, Greeninfo Network created and stylized custom pop-ups using Arcade and HTML. We also utilized Esri’s Experience Builder to ensure the map and interface is screen-adaptive for users viewing the map on phones and tablets.
