This project was a fun one. The crux of the project was choosing a good topic. After that, the main issue was in sticking with a visual system yet keeping it from getting too mundane (a common problem I've found in designing books). The content needed to differ from item to item, but the system needed to be consistent throughout.

Global Warming Concept Map

Organizing a concept into a visual map is much easier said than done. The visual representation needs to be in line with the concept, while the flow of content must also be easily understood. My biggest hold-up was that I really wanted the flow to look organic, as my chosen subject was global warming. In trying to work with organic shapes and lines, the hierarchy and flow of content was not as clear. I had to find a way for the map to be organic, yet structured.
