During my third year of Communication and Multimedia Design, I took on an exciting minor called Information Design. Over the course of six months, I immersed myself in the art of data visualization, learning how to communicate critical information clearly and effectively while collaborating with clients.
​
One course, Data Visualization, challenged us to turn raw data into something both creative and engaging. For one project, we were asked to fill out a questionnaire, analyze the results, and transform the data into a fun and visually appealing infographic. Every student created something entirely unique, which made the course all the more exciting.
"What if it’s all true, what if we actually live in a world where magic is all around. I have reason to believe magic is real. How else could I explain what happend to me and my classmates?"
Of course, I created my own infographic as well, which you can see here. It visualizes at least four key data points from the questionnaire, combined with additional data from another source. I had a blast designing this piece in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign. This project was a turning point for me, it’s when I really started to feel confident using these tools. Not only was I proud of the final result, but I genuinely enjoyed the process. Thankfully, the professors agreed with me! Out of a class of 52 students, I was chosen, along with two classmates, to present our work at the annual Information Design Conference.
This was such an incredible honor, and I was overjoyed. My parents were so proud that they still have the poster I presented at the conference hanging in their home.
​
Overall, it was a fantastic experience, a perfect blend of logic and creativity, like solving a fun and beautiful puzzle. I made great memories and learned so much.
