Information Graphics: PDX Edition

This 10-week course aims to explore contemporary information graphics as a design practice as well as an art practice. We will take an in depth look at varies ways designers and artists worldwide working with information to create works that has great impact on our understanding of our lives, past, present, and future. Following the examination of leading practitioners’ work, each student will create two information graphic projects to tell stories of Portland Oregon.

Student Project One

The first project is a 2d informational design where information data is articulated and presented in a superior visual form. In the comment section, each student will add an entry to display the image of finalized design (approximately 1200pixel by 900pixel) along with a short text to describe the project.
