Infographics

If you remember I posted previously about the awesome work done over at GOOD magazine, specifically in the department of GOOD Transparencies. I have been kicking my ass at work lately attempting to convey a ridiculous amount of data into an easy to understand graphic.

So Tufte and GOOD Magazine have been my home boys for the last couple of months. Here are some dudes whose graphic design prowess, specifically in infographics, is unmatched.

moleskine collection I

just went digging through some older moleskines i had laying around - the following are from 3 skines all of which went on a couple travels to europe with me - i'll post another series soon ...

_cliff dwellings
composed of planes, lines and points along cliffs these creations cantilever over canyon rims, cliff edges etc. the concept that they are temporary and can be anchored to the earth and cliff sides with structural components by drilling and hanging fastening.






















_kinetic iterations
fluid pieces of objects, materials, moving parts assemblages and fragment amalgamations compose these concepts of imagined architectures. scale is left to the imagination. i think of time pieces blown up in scale. these are quick vingnettes plan/elevations/sections of an object - i draw these quickly with pencil first, usually never picking up the point, (similar to the idea behind the singing line in japanese prints) ink the pencil, add dashed lines representing layering of parts and then fill in parts that are critical or unique.

where do these go now? they are really just snippets of a larger idea ... how would one take it to the next level?

CONTINUOUS THISTLES

CONTINUOUS THISTLES- Advanced Drawing Procedures
(1) Digital scripting tests explored within Processing, then exported as a live vector source:


(2) Digital to Analog filtration is expressed by various fabrication techniques allowing for new opportunities:


(3) Analog stitching on acrylic plates provides an enhanced intended relationships and connections. All stitching is one continuous thread:


(4) A triptych is then used to describe an iterative series and sequence of opportunities within the designer's applied rule sets:

I created this series of of collages with inspiration of found imagery, textures, objects, words, numbers and scenes - then interpreted, placed, and arranged the scenes. adding motion to the flatness of the collage with illustrative systems of simple machines like pin connections, joints, pulleys, ropes, hatches, swing arms assert movement. each panel/fold is representative of an act, a starting point and together are one play.
