Information Design—Old World Third Street

I've had a few people look at me funny when I say information design is what I enjoy doing if I get to choose my own project. To most information design is a quagmire of numbers that seems to elude any form of comprehension. But for me, it is a challenge of communicating something very intelligent and in-depth in a simple and attractive way. So for my passion project I documented the movement on a busy street in downtown Milwaukee for 18 different hours of the day, 7am-12am. Each hour I recorded the movement of traffic, taxis, buses, trucks, and bikes, as well as how many people visited each of the 14 establishments lining the street and who they were. What resulted was a series of "dials" representing each hour and a way to visualize and understand the movement and activity of the street at each hour of the day.

Typography Poster Series

Along with another member of my school's AIGA chapter, we created a series of 10 posters highlighting common errors and misconceptions about typography. We followed a template with the theme of a ribbon flowing across the top. We wanted our content to be witty and humorous to draw the reader in and make the information more lasting. They were really fun to make and put up throughout the art building. Sadly I've never really done anything like an awareness campaign so it was new and exciting for me.
