Concept Map: Crime Scene Investigation

The Concept map project was one in which we had to use info-graphics and mapping out of terms to create a logical flow of a specific topic. I chose Crime Scene Investigation, more specifically the evidence analysis portion of CSI and created a mind map of all possible outcomes for evidence at the scene of a crime. I also created info-graphics to represent some significant statistics about the subject. This required much critical thinking and organization as a designer to logically organize terms in an aesthetically pleasing manner.

A Field Guide to Local Coffee Shops

For this assignment we were to create a field guide that could be used in the field of the particular subject matter we chose. I decided to make a field guide about local coffee shops in Austin and decided to expand my focus to all areas of Austin. I researched 15 local coffee shops and decided that the way to make the guide most useful was to insert coffee cup sleeves and to customize them to each shop. The guide gives detailed information that one would like to know about the shop and also leaves an area for personal note taking.
