Design III-A - Thesis Statement, Annotated Images and Readings Part 2

Thesis Focus Statement

My thesis focus is on the construction of Self. The construction of Self as dictated though others (friends and family). The construction of Self that evolves and changes through the passage of time.

Studio Journal - Information Design | Autobiographical Poster

I'm going to include the work I do for my Design III-A class in with my studio journal because I have been applying my thesis focus to each one, preparing for the future. In Design we've been assigned a poster project. This project need to use information design to depict something autobiographical.

My original idea was to take the concept of time-line and convert it into metaphorical distance. I wanted to make use of a map as a type of container for the information. My information would be points in my life and how I mark them. In other words, it's a very personal way of keeping track of time, I could compare it to someone who remembers driving directions not by road names but by landmarks (ie a restaurant at the corner, big red house with three windows, etc etc.)
