ROLE
Designer
The Arab Spring Timeline documents the evolution of protests that took place in North Africa and the Middle East during the winter of 2010 until the spring of 2011.
The timeline represents an abstracted “map” of the countries involved in the Arab Spring based on their geographical proximity to one another. Each country is represented by a square that increases in size depending on the number of events / protests that took place each month. The countries responses are then documented through color coding to indicate a political move, a regime change, or a violent attack.
The challenge in this project was figuring out a scale to represent the events / protests in while trying to keep the country blocks in somewhat of a geographically correct placement. The result however remained clear—protests spread in all countries particularly in Libya where its death toll reached 10,000 in April 2011.
THE PROJECT THAT CHANGED MY CAREER TRAJECTORY
I took this “spatial visualization” class with the intention that it would help me in my architecture major. Little did I know that this would be my introduction to type, color, layout, composition, hierarchy, etc... the basic foundations of graphic design which I immediately fell in love with and made me switch career paths!
