Design of the signage system for the new WHS building
This assignment, led by Brian Lucid at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, involves the design and production of a printed diagram that clearly and understandably conveys the organization and structure of a complex musical composition.
This assignment, led by Brian Lucid at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, investigates the transformation of raw data into comprehensible information.
The first phase of the assignment entails gathering a simple data set and defining methods to structure that data. The second phase involves extracting findings from the data and conveying that information clearly (through numeric representation) and engagingly (through design and metaphor) via a large-scale printed diagram.

Project:
The Vessel Series is a five-piece set of informational booklets on deadly viral diseases specifically Measles, Yellow Fever, Ebola, Dengue Fever and Influenza A. The overall content and tone of writing reflect the core purpose of the booklets, which is to provide intermediate-level education about virus-caused illnesses to unfamiliar audiences.
The booklets re-interpret diagrams from Biology textbooks (which tend to be somewhat confusing and over-complicated) using simplified construction paper cut-outs and labelled mylar overlays, thereby conveying the traditionally-scientific material in a more digestible, accessible, friendly and refreshing manner. The mylar overlays specifically act as a labelled barrier between information and image, allowing readers to appreciate the construction paper diagrams on their own, or as a part of the whole educative experience.
Each booklet contains a brief introduction about the featured disease, followed by key historical facts, demographic statistics, and a series of diagrams showcasing the virus' interactions with the human body (i.e. damaging crucial organs, disrupting important cell processes, etc.). Various scientific publications and web resources (especially the World Health Organization website) were consulted/referenced in the writing, crafting, and overall creation of the booklets.

IEEE Spectrum // August 2010
An eight-page feature on the future of nuclear power plants. We commissioned Bryan Christie Design to create eight infographics of possible reactor designs, and I worked with editors in researching, organizing and designing the report under three main categories.
Primorsky Krai borders on China and North Korea and faces the maritime borders of Japan and South Korea and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region through the Sea of Japan. It realizes connecting and contact functions in the international relations between Russia and many Asia-Pacific countries.

Nels, Sophie, and I have decided to document a bit what we know about the local playgrounds. Here's our project so far.
Complete Metamorphosis in Enthomology means simply that creature undergoes the metamorphosis through the pupating stage. Some of insects don't become pupae.

Rob Phillips (rdphillips.co.uk ) and I ran a stall at Brighton Mini Maker Faire 2012 asking visitors about their experiences with instructions, and how to make them better. Instructions are important to the Maker movement - following what others have done is often what helps people get into making, but the quality, style and assumed level of knowledge can vary significantly (there are parallels with documentation issues in open source software).
Our Maker Faire activity included asking visitors to create their own instructions for someone else - either how to make a cup of tea, or how to make fire. Thanks to Rob's expertise in the latter area, we had a bow drill and lots of different possible materials to experiment with, although of course we couldn't actually let people light any fires in the hall, so a hastily-conceived Arduino blinking a random pattern of red, yellow and orange LEDs had to suffice.
Once we've read through all the postcards people very kindly (and enthusiastically) filled in, we'll be able to extract some insights - from a preliminary look through, it's clear there's a mix of very visual and text-based preferences, with some interesting combinations, and some people basically not liking following instructions at all. And, very wonderfully, an instruction video filmed and uploaded to YouTube on the spot.
Keep an eye on rdphillips.co.uk and danlockton.co.uk for the results of the exercise - and thanks to everyone who took part, and helped, including the brilliant volunteers from the Maker Faire organisers.

SPD Merit Award, Design: Spread (Pub 45)
Feature design about the engineering firm Zink, who have developed inkless printers for computers and cameras. Joshua Dalsimer photographed key members of their design team at their labs.
Did this as a demonstration mind map at an Information Design class at Parsons in NYC. I was filling in for the regular instructor Ariel Churi who is traveling around Asia.
I made this one as the students were creating their own. I wanted to model making a map, as they did there maps.

For more than fifty years, computer programmers have been writing code. New technologies continue to emerge, develop, and mature at a rapid pace. Now there are more than 2,500 documented programming languages. O'Reilly has been providing developers with comprehensive, in-depth technical information and has kept pace with rapidly changing technologies as new languages have emerged, developed, and matured.
This timeline includes fifty of the more than 2500 documented programming languages. It is based on an original diagram created by Eric Levenez (www.levenez.com), augmented with suggestions from O'Reilly authors, friends, and conference attendees.
Travelers’ initial encounter with ZeitRaum is in the Check In 3 area, where an imposing wall of monitor screens straddles the corridors leading to and through the security checkpoint. A person’s approach triggers a cloud of letters cascading down this wall. Once they come to rest at the bottom, these letters coalesce into texts that, in turn, form the topography of a landscape. Hills and valleys take shape in this way, all of them incessantly in motion because their growth is a function of current arrivals and departures. Every takeoff engenders a hill, every landing a valley.
Textscapes is a work by the Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT).

If you want to actually read it, you better get up close.
I can haz spreadsheet! For anyone who knows me, this is totally out of character. Numbers are not usually my friend. But I figured that I had better document what I'm doing, since someone else is going to have to run this thing for our wedding cookout in a month.
I cooked two Boston Butts (for pulled pork) and four half-racks of spare ribs on Sunday. This was my first time trying to cook with logs as opposed to lump mesquite charcoal (my usual fuel).
I used a mix of seasoned split oak logs and mesquite lump charcoal.
Better cooking through science!
Update: I tweaked the design a bit, added some stuff and got rid of a lot of chart junk. Also added traces for all the vents, even if they were unused for this particular cook.
This has got to be the worst way you could possibly display this information. Here's the plain English version of what it's saying:
1) Get on the Yonge-University-Spadina line at Eglinton Station and go south (toward Downsview).
2) Get off at Bloor Station and get on the Bloor-Danforth line going west (toward Kipling).
3) Get off at Duffering Station and get on a 29D Dufferin bus going south (toward Exhibition - Princess Gates).
4) Get off at Queen Street West (north side).
Although that's exactly the right route for my trip, it's very, very difficult to understand. Try it for yourself at www3.ttc.ca/Trip_planner/index.jsp.
Compare that to the output from MyTTC.ca, a community-built, open source project that beat the TTC to having a trip planner by about two years.

This is the first of a serie of monotematic weekly sport pages, one of the newspaper´s Beijing-08 products. I drew the first concept and Marcio José and Renata Steffen added their ideias.
