Project 01Visualizing SystemsWATER + SYSTEMInvestigating the systems within the geographyStudents will explore the intersection of water with the eleven urban systems. Visual Research will expand on the topic by creating representations of the regions where the concepts intersect. Systems of design representation and analysis will be developed. Foresight Driver’s of Change Card prompts will be used as points of departure for research.

Water—the earth’s blood

The First Design in the Design Process was a bit challenging to complete. I was very con�dent about what I wanted it was just a bit dif�cult to demonstrate that into a 2D piece.

Water—the earth’s blood

The Second Design in the Design Process was moving along very swiftly. The Legend and graph demonstrated on the piece are starting to look very engaging. The Layout still is still unknown at this point. Started to experiment with color as well.

Design 3.0

The Third Design in the Design Process was one of the biggest jumps that I had made with in this project. I really knew what I was looking as an overall piece. Everything on the piece is becoming more legible; the colors are really starting to pop off the page.

Design 4.0

The Fourth Design in the Design Process or the �nal design for the piece. I �nally made some important decisions to change the layout, and a couple of the colors. Paying attention to detail I decided to resize a couple of items on this piece. I went with a grid system layout scheme, and it’s working very effectively for me. Over all I learned a lot from this project, and I’m look-ing forward to putting this atlas together.

Data Exploring the Grid

Design 5

After completing project one i knew that i wanted to push my designs much futher. Not knowing exactly what i wanted to do for project to i decided to explore the rule 1/3’s, as my grid system. In this �rst stage of develop-ment i wasn’t that effective in getting that point accross, but it was a good effort.

With my �nal attempt to design project 2 i feel like i made a great improvement from my �rst design. With the infographic that i have displayed I really feel as though my designs are really moving foward, and got the point across. I really hope moving into the Atlas that my design stays very effec-tive.
