Visual Communications for Sustainability /

We are increasingly surrounded by data, and information is collected and categorized in the smallest of increments. Data on sustainability is no exception. How do we use and present data in a way that is relevant for consumers? In this course students learn about the growing field of information design and critically evaluate how it relates to communicating sustainability. Customized project-based assignments take students deeper into real-life situations.

Project Overview /

The Smart Green Shipping Alliance sought to generate public interest in their company and raise funds by means of a crowdfunding campaign. Our team created an infographic for SGSA explaining the negative impacts of the shipping industry, why it matters, and to make the case for why the SGSA is a worthy cause for donations.
