I had data about related artists pulled from LastFM.
For artist X I find 5 related artists, for which I find again 5 related artists. This I do for thousand artists.

in the D3 library I have quite a few visualizations I like at can be applicable for my design.

Hierarchical Edge Bundling
Fisheye Distortion
BeerViz

These are a few of them. What they have in common is the fact that they show the names in a round layout and show the connections between them. Yet I think my final design should more dynamic and interactive.

A general comment about the last two weeks is, that by trying to do everything at a decent level I have not managed to do one at a decent level. This should become better over the next assignment. Or otherwise lets believe the video in which they state that you have to deliver a lot of crap before something good.
