Graphic Material

One of my favorite classes, if not my favorite, ended today.  For the last day, our Information Graphics class went to the New York Times (where my teacher is a graphics editor–she does this column) and had our final projects critiqued by graphics staff.

For my project, I decided to do a graphic on university patent grants/inventions and R&D expenditures (fun fact: UC patented Hep B vaccine and 2 strawberry kinds, and UCSD leads the main campuses with most patents. Go Tritons! ), which was critiqued by one of the online graphics staff. Turns out he went to UC Davis! So we bonded over the UC connection. All those hours spent in Excel and Adobe Illustrator paid off.  My classmates had amazing work. What a great day!

Here’s me and my graphic at the Times.

  1. Nice! I had no idea. I always enjoy finding out that UCSD does good work. Of course it looks like (from your graphic) that they sure paid for it!

  2. Your teacher did great work at NYTimes… very clean, very simple… good graphics design

  3. Mimi! Congratulations on graduation! I am so, so proud of you. :)

    Many of your entries touched me deeply. I hope that you continue to be the wonderful, passionate, curious, empathetic person that we all know you as!

  4. Woohoo! Go UC =)
