The simplest of design, this series of 365 circles divided into 12 lines illustrates one year. Each circle is colored in by hand charting the high temperature for each day. 12 colors were selected, each representing a 10 degree temperature span.
The layout was created in Adobe Illustrator using a simple circle and distribution. It was printed directly to 11x17 bristol paper, and is colored by hand with Prismacolor markers. The result is an organic hand drawn look, and the process is curiously relaxing. I catch up each week early Saturday mornings.
As a digital designer I spend most of my time on a computer. Spending even a few minutes with markers and paper is deeply satisfying, even if the design is elemental.
