The Challenge:

The aim of this project was to find an important or significant topic of our choosing and develop complex data into a poster that is easily understandable and focused on visuals. The topic I chose for this project revolves around the magnificent carbon storage capabilities of the Giant Sequoia tree species and their high importance to protecting our atmosphere and environment. I wanted to emphasize this by comparing the sequoia’s carbon capture storage to other miscellaneous tree species, and also draw interesting visual attention to the subject matter through imagery, typography, layout, copywriting, etc.

My thoughts:

I found this project to be a very interesting challenge that I have never tackled before. I am happy that my experimentations eventually led me in the right direction, but I did struggle to think of original and creative ways to visualize my data sets. Eventually, I was able to find a solution, and the reiteration and research process became essential to overcoming these obstacles.
