powerless: the blackout of 2003
[ an infographic poster ]
An information design poster to explain the blackout of 2003. The goal was to show the events that happened during the blackout in the simplest way possible for an audience with no detailed knowledge. This project involved extensive research as well as a lecture from an electrician, in an effort to fully understand the mechanics behind the blackout.
Collaboration with Nura Husseini and Yiqian Lin.
