Posted on 25th July, by max in Design. Comments Off

“”My final year project in information design. Two big (200cm x 90cm, 80 x 36 inch) posters show the variety and attitudes of members from an internet community like MySpace.”On the first poster you can see the functions used, as well as additional information such as age, educational background, family status, gender and how often they are logged in. So, all demographic data which are available from every member’s profile.”The second poster gives you an overview of the geographic position, based on a map. You can see where the members are distributed. The aim was to give the management the opportunity to know much more about the members than would have been possible with a simple scan of their database only”.”Visit the Myspace Variety and Attitudes Website

We‚Äö√Ñ√¥ve brought it to life with what we think is an innovative tool, produced with the help our designer, Marcin Ignac. The icons on the left represent 5 main food ‚Äö√Ñ√≤types‚Äö√Ñ√¥ – fats, fish, fruit, meat and vegetables.

Posted on 22nd July, by max in Design. Comments Off

“”VisIt is a free interactive parallel visualization and graphical analysis tool for viewing scientific data on Unix and PC platforms. Users can quickly generate visualizations from their data, animate them through time, manipulate them, and save the resulting images for presentations. VisIt contains a rich set of visualization features so that you can view your data in a variety of ways. It can be used to visualize scalar and vector fields defined on two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) structured and unstructured meshes. VisIt was designed to handle very large data set sizes in the terascale range and yet can also handle small data sets in the kilobyte range”.rn
