Week 4: last week of project 1, see you at the End show!
Because of this final week, the planning will be a little different.
Monday March 21, 4pm – 5 pm CET: (extra) feedback hour to talk about your work with Marc and Christian.
Tuesday March 22, 2pm – 4 pm CET: feedback hour(s) to talk about your work with Marc and Christian.
Thursday March 24, 2pm – 4pm: END SHOW!
It would be great if all participants (students and teachers) can join the online End show to reflect on the work that’s made and the lessons that are learned. If you’re a student, prepare a 5 minute presentation by making a .pdf with slides, showing the assignments you made and the process how you got there (mistakes included!).
If you haven’t completed all the assignments, don’t worry! For the End show, make a presentation of just the work you did. It’s really no problem if you didn’t manage to do all four assignments. Also, post the work you were able to do, on the Miro boards:
–Miro board assignment #1 (visual statement)
–Miro board assignment #2 (real life infographic)
–Miro board assignment #3 en #4 (hand drawn and digital visualization of personal data).
Assignment #4 – Data Storytelling is an elaboration on assignment #3. Please, watch the video and the .pdf for more info and inspiration!
Welcome to week 3 of project 1
You have until 11:59pm (23:59) monday March 14 to hand in assignment #2 (the visual assessment) on the Miro board.
Each student can upload their assignment on the Miro board in form of a jpg of pdf, add your name + a short description.
Assignment #3 Hand Drawn Personal Data Visualisation
This week, we’ll begin with assignment #3. Watch the video of Mark and Christian about it bellow. Also check out the .pdf file.

The project and teachers
The project runs from Feb. 28 untill March 25.
In project 1 we will go outside and make fieldwork, gather soft and hard data, track our own behaviour and habits, dive into desk research and translate our findings and data into visual appealing narratives. As designers we take a position, frame our message and tell a story. We will experiment with different ways of visualising our data.
Week #1 – Feb. 28
Creating a visual statement
Week#2 – March 7
Public data and real life infographics
Week #3 – – March 14
Hand-drawn personal data visualization
Week #4 –
Data Storytelling
Project 1 is organized by Marc and Christian: ‘We are two graphic designers, traditionally born in Germany and living since a while already in The Netherlands. Since 14 years we have a design studio in the center of Amsterdam and are teaching regularly at the faculty for multimedia design in Amsterdam. Further we developed a social design workshop ‘Mapping the City’ which we organised in the last years in more than 20 different countries.’

Things you can already do / preparations
If you like, you can already start, doing these tasks, before tuesday March 1.
1-Start collecting data:
Please already start collecting data about your own sustainable and eco-friendly or environmentally unfriendly behaviour. We will connect you to two fellow students from a different country (we will let you know which working groups your’ re in on Monday Feb. 28.). Later in the project you will compare and discuss these collected data with the students form your working group and create visualisations together.
Choose different media/methods how you could keep track of these behaviours or habits. Just collect data about your individual behaviour. Think about the following subjects/topics: transportation (how much km on bike, car, public transport, etc), garbage, recycling, water usage, meat consumption, etc.
2-Interview 3 people
Interview 3 people (e.g. with the same social, cultural or professional background or different backgrounds) about their lifestyle and efforts to reduce their personal co2 – footprint. Which habits prevent them of being more environmentally friendly, what strengthen, helps them to act eco-friendly? Think about 3 strong questions you use as a conversation starter. You will use the outcomes to create a visual statement (assignment week 1).
3-Watch the lectures
Look at these video’s below, in the context of gathering quantitative data and how to translate this to a visual statement:
-Hans en Ola Rosling, on cultural bias and how to get rid of it with data:
https://www.gapminder.org/videos/how-not-to-be-ignorant-about-the-world/
–Anna Rosling on data and people:
-Andy Kirk on qualitative data and what to do with it:
-Nicholas Felton on Collecting data about your own behaviour
-Il Tempo della Quarantena: on collecting and comparing personal data:
–Sarah Illenberger on visual statements:
Nicholas Felton on the relationship between data and photography:
While watching the videos, in approximately 500 words in total, answer the following questions:
- Which video stands out in your opinion? Elaborate.
- What is the key message of each video in one sentence?
- What do these designers have in common and what distinguishes them?
- How would you use / can you apply – the learnings you have gained in your project?
