Graduate Typography, CMU Fall07
This was an information visualization exercise that challenged us to deal with lots of information. We were asked to document every detail we could of 60 minutes of our lives; we could do anything we wanted in these 60 minutes. I chose to count the number of bricks on the wall in my apartment; I was sitting on my office chair on a warm fall day and the sun was pouring into the room, I was not compelled to get up to do anything more interesting.
What made this project interesting, however, was the challenge of visualizing the fact that I was counting bricks, as well as recounting all the thoughts that were meandering through my mind during this time.
This poster is meant to be seen in its entirety (see link on right), the slice above is only a sneek preview. This project really allowed me to focus on typographic details; deciding the perfect placement of the poster title, figuring out the right size for the numbered bricks in the background; attention to all the details were what made this project successful for me.
