  Visual methods are of great utility in understanding and interpreting quantum
mechanics at all levels of understanding. The Bloch sphere, for example, is an
invaluable and widely used tool for visualising quantum dynamics of a two level
qubit system. In this work we present an `octant' visualisation method for
qutrits bearing similarity to the Bloch sphere, that encompasses all eight
degrees of freedom necessary to fully describe a three level state whilst
remaining intuitive to interpret. Using this framework, a set of typical three
level processes are modelled, described and displayed.
