A Comparison of Two States

This multi-page layout created circa 1999 is an example of complex information design. I compared two randomly selected states, North Carolina and North Dakota, in four areas: history, physical characteristics, people and economics, and climate and weather.

The research data is presented in a variety of forms, both traditional and unique, depending on the type of data both statistically and contextually. Color was used throughout to establish and maintain a clear identity for each state, enhancing the user's ability to quickly understand the specific information presented and its importance in the context of a broader comparison of the states. I completed this project for the University of Washington's Visual Communications Design program.
