Information design : a visual representation of time units.
"Hour", my final piece, was printed as an A1 poster. The rest are my experiments and the initial one minute circle that was the basis for the hour. When I decided to devise a system to visualise time units, I was struck by the fact that they’re all contained within each other and tried to use that through my design.
Foundation for my info design project, a list of different time units.
I felt compelled to make them the basis of my project because not only I’m a sucker for evocative names and new words but also because for humans these units are the basis of our interaction with time. The names we use for them is what we use to verbally represent time so I thought to utilise these units to help me visually represent time.
Finally got around to posting my term one projects, now that I've had bit of holidays to recover from deadline madness.
This is my typography project :
A series of posters based on grid systems found in everyday fabrics.
I chose the blue and yellow colours as I found them to be just the right balance between aesthetically appealing and visually confusing. They contrast each other enough for the word to stand out on the page while still giving off the illusion of the two colours slightly blending into each other.
I also was concerned about the pieces still being accessible to people with colour-blindness and after researching it for a while, I found out thanks to this website that it was a colour combination compatible with the different types of the condition.
In each of the patterns I tried to evoke the texture and make of fabric while still using geometric graphical shapes.
I had a lot of fun carefully choosing which of the pattern elements would turn yellow, some happy accidents in selecting gave me new ideas about how to shape my letters. The element of randomness and surprise while playing with letterforms is what made me enjoy this project the most.
