Cameroon Infographic Poster
In this project, we were assigned a country and given data from its page in the Economist, and using that data and some additional research, we had to create 32 information graphics & maps and compose them onto a poster in a visually cohesive manner. Mine turned out to be 24"x41".
How to make a Tealight Cup
In this process project, we were asked to create a visualization of a process of a minimum of 10 steps or stages of making something, using as few words or labels as possible. I chose to make this in the form of an accordion booklet, and I hand drew all of the icons and text. Each page is 5.5"x8.5", and there are 11 pages total.
Wayfinding for the College of Arts, Media, and Design
Here we were tasked to create a signage system for Northeastern's College of Arts, Media, and Design (CAMD), including a building directory of Ryder Hall, a map of campus + relevant locations for art students, an outdoor directional sign, and a room sign.
Directional Sign, 2'–6" x 3'–0 1/2"
Campus Map, 3'–8 1/4" x 3'–0 1/2"
