    in ,

    The process book for my data visualization project is due tomorrow. I initially finished it on Friday. On Saturday, I printed a draft and showed it to someone. Too much white space, he said. Six weeks into design school, I simply cannot ignore a comment like “too much white space.” So I spent time on…

    During design seminar, Dan took us to view Joyce Kozloff??????s Exterior and Interior Cartographies at the Regina Gouger Miller Gallery on the campus. Kozloff’s work features drawings, collages, prints, paintings. She juxtaposes hand-drawn maps and cut-outs of illustrated military figures and drawings of super heros by young boys.

    After depriving myself of sleep and taking a chance that my poster would work it??????s way through the print queue in time for class (we were told to allow 48 hours and I submitted my job at 2 a.m.), I gladly hung my poster on the wall with everyone else during grad studio this afternoon.…

    Although I spent all day working on my data visualization project, I’m still pretty much at square one, if you were to measure my current results by means of a finished project. I came into the studio late in the day to get some feedback to ensure I didn’t go down the wrong path and…
