Traction

Traction was my first big project at Kerve, and one of my earliest introductions to web API’s. The project was to promote a series of music events by showcasing music stats in several key cities in Europe, using real-time data from Last.fm. The end product consisted of a central hub sitting on The Guardian’s website, as well as interactive banner ads for Last.fm.

The project gave me my first opportunity to build a big interactive javascript-driven experience for well-known clients, and was a huge learning experience, setting me up with many foundations for all of my subsequent work.
