Visual Communications for Sustainability

Portfolio Work Overview

Project 1: The goal of this project was to create a user friendly and data driven infograph that would be relevant for a certain demographic. Over the course of 15 weeks we learned about data visualization and impactful statistics to present to the public. We also learned how to modify data to best present the information, including how to display different formats. This final project represents a simple and intuitive way to introduce Composting into your daily lifestyle.

Project 2: This project allowed for comparisons to better analyze and deliver environmental and sustainable data. What we throw away generally ends up in incinerators and landfills, so choices and consumer decisions matter. Choosing sustainable alternatives is the best path forward and this assignment focused on products that we discard regularily. Things like disassembly, take back programs, and recycling directions on packaging are all helpful in minimizing impacts.
