Information Design Posters

Data Visualization

Focused works from Information Design class with Professor Doug Scott at Rhode Island School of Design. 

All posters were created synchronously over the course of 3 months and designed using Adobe Illustrator.

Tri-Trek

Documenting activities and durations of three trips of increasing lengths originating from my residence in Providence.

Investigated narrative beats, such as origin/destination visual treatment, audio experience documentation, and lengths of time each task took.

Severance Ch, 9-10

Narrative visualization of Chapters 9-10 from Severance by Ling Ma.

Investigated how to convey information simply, using comics strategies, while not being too literal in image-making.

This pantomime approach allowed for color, character posing, and deliberate prop placement to tell the story.

Typeset in Neighbor

Concurrent narratives told within the same space through the flexible use of gutters
Characters run opposite to traditional reading direction to evoke a sense of unease
