Manual renewed our partnership with Strava to celebrate athletes’ 2021 journey with a personalized and data-driven experience, displayed through a series of animations. When accessing the Year in Sport experience natively within the Strava app, athletes can easily review how they’ve performed the entire year as well as share their personal bests and highlights across social channels. Alongside the Strava team and animator Sander Van Dijk, we mapped out the story of the Year In Sport personalized experience, and explored how data could take shape through design, ultimately conveying athletes’ data in a dynamic, celebratory format. We brought each data-point to life via code-driven full screen animations that presented athletes’ unique data in colorful, dynamic, animated scenes.
