Crowned
The Succession of the British Monarchy
This is my college thesis project. I minored in history, and studied abroad in Scotland, where I studied Scottish and Celtic history. When I was there, I wanted to know how the monarchs I learned about were related to each other. But I found it difficult to find all the information I needed. I wanted to create a website that would allow people with similar interests as me learn more about these monarchs.
Research
Reading lots of books
Post-it note hierarchy outline
Timeline/Family tree competitor analysis
Key Features
cohesive overall design style
color to unify countries, dynasties, and family succession
arrows to identify succesion path
legend to explain design decisions
I created a site that allows you to trace lineages across dynasties, to understand the relationships that allowed for succession, and gives concise information about each monarch.
This long term project may be a work in progress but something I'm incredibly proud of. Thank you for taking a look.
