Icons

This system of icons was created with some of the same tasks in mind as the AIGA style of icons for use in

Old Library. However, the AIGA visu-al language was abandoned and a

new style was established for the set to pertain to.

original intent of the icon to create equal positive and negative space

required attention to detail and understanding of spacial interaction

and relationships.

Mapping Kingston, NY presented visual problems that needed to be

solved in a manor that was easily understandable and also maintain in-tuitive interaction. This map of visual and performing arts establishments

would hypothetically be placed at each location on the map and in-

clude a monthly schedule of events and happenings. This map would

encourage art enthusiasts in Kings-ton to explore other sites and attend

events affiliated with them.

This is a visual representation of data that would otherwise be more com-plicated to understand. This poster

would hypothetically be hung in a bike shop, cafe, or other location

where people have potential waiting time. During this time viewers would

have the opportunity to stop and look closer, being informed about

bicyclist trends in the United States and view bicycling in a positive light.
