The Colour of Consumption
The Colour of Consumption is an information design that explores the consumption habits of an individual through the aspect of colour. The items consumed by a design student were recorded over a duration of one week, and organized based on the colour of the item, and the day and time it was consumed. These items are placed in accordance with a colour wheel, letting the viewer see correlations between the items and their responding colours.
Country in a Can
Country in a Can is a visual narrative that explores the industries of the world through the metaphor of a pop can. This information design uses the pop can to represent different countries – the GDP and industry of these countries are listed and organized by wealth. The colour of the pop can reflects the two main industries of that country, such as blue for tourism, or black for petroleum. It is an interesting way to see the world through the colours that represent each nation’s economy.
