A bit of a delayed update, but here's some work from a class I took during the first half of this semester. It's called 67-260: Visualizing Complex Information, taught by the amazing Karen Berntsen. It's main focus was on getting us comfortable with visual hierarchy. We had a single project that just kept expanding...So, to start at the beginning, we were given this mass of text and tasked with organizing it into meaningful categories.
Everyone came up with different categories, since our professor didn't give us very precise directions (on purpose). After that, we had to organize the categories into a mock table of contents for a made up book.
Next, we then had to make a mock poster advertising the fake book! Although my classmates were given the same image resources to draw upon, I was the only to use this image of a lake as "Earth."
Finally, the last task was turning everything into a mock mobile app and website. The visual theme had to remain consistent, so I stuck with my black and white (plus blue/green) color scheme. Here's what I came up with in the end:
Keep in mind, all this was done in a very short amount of time. Total class time was 8 weeks, with maybe 6 of those weeks being actual "go" time.
