The opening spreads were pretty fun to do. So I made a bunch. I ended up using the last one (with some modifications, of course) for my article. My article spreads: That last page has a disproportionate amount of whitespace. Maybe it needs more text. Maybe the whole document needs more whitespace… I’ll move things around Read More
Peer2Peer focuses on how data transfer revolutionized how the world sees community and public property Hacks to Riches hackers who became famous & successful (like Steve Jobs, Woz, etc.) Less is More evolution of computer hardware; devices are getting smaller, but more powerful over time
Needless to say, I came a long way in this project. I’m surprised at how quickly my ideas evolved. It’s only been a couple of weeks! Here are my first round of sketches: First digital idea: Second digital idea, playing with formal similarities: Refinement of that idea: further refinement: Read More
So, even though this is technically the last version with an all-class critique, I’m still going to have to make some changes/improvements before carrying it over to my Typography project. For example, my ethernet cable is losing its meaning now. It used to be an anchor for the dates on the timeline, but then my Read More
I realize my secondary information on my poster could be treated a bit better. As some of my classmates pointed out in critique, I could separate the lines of information so that some of it would align with the next little block of white in the middle of the page. Grounding my secondary text Read More
I’ve changed my electric chartreuse to a darker, gold color. It definitely helps with legibility and gives the whole system a more mature feel. My processor infograph needed some more space, so I made it twice as wide. This allowed me to give my “processors” some breathing room. One of my timelines was just begging Read More
Here is the previous round of infograph(ic)s I did. I fixed a lot of issues since I did these guys. Here are my newest ones. I decided to stop using black and that weird green color, and just keep it to the original blue and yellowish. I think I’m using my colors a lot better Read More
This round of posters isn’t the greatest, but it comes with a surprise! Postcards So, the surprise is that the above postcard will end up being my poster! Flip it around 90 degrees, and there it is! See? It’s better than my other posters. Nice! I obviously need to make a few tweaks here & Read More
Last time, I had some trouble with holding onto my concept. This time, I brought it back! The two vector posters come back to my concept because they allude to Strausfeld’s love of simplicity. Her name on the left one acts as a backbone to the building, which speaks to her structured way of designing. Read More
Finally putting information with my pictograms. I had a pretty good idea of what my pictograms could represent, so I didn’t have too much trouble putting them into context with the information/data that I have. This is the framework I’ve got so far for my infographics. Ta-da! Issues: Smaller CPUs are too dang tiny. So Read More
