After a very long wait I finally realized I was missing some projects on here!
This is the final project from my Information Design course.
We were asked to spend at least two weeks (starting on our spring break) recording our consumption of something (or several things). Some people picked their consumption of water (taking showers, drinking water, washing hands, etc.), others picked food.
I on the other hand wanted to do something that would be fun at the same time, and since I had an entire week off when we started I picked my consumption of video games: specifically a game called Final Fantasy XII, which I had recently bought.
Homework is so much more fun when it involves video games.
The idea behind the final project was to pick an interesting section of the data we collected and create some sort of graphic to display this information - then tie it in with other aspects of our lives at the time/to other data.
Since I was looking at one week of my life, I included time spent on sleep, in class, homework, other games, and the specific video game.
It took forever to get the design to something I enjoyed.
Magic happened when I found the official game art (that multicolored ink drawing above the title). I used all the colors from that image for the rest of the design.
And no, I don't usually spend more time playing games than working...!
Just this particular week!
