Encoded Realities is an exhibition showing data visualizations by the students of the Fall 2025 Graphic Design 3 cohort. With guidance from my professor Karin Von Ompteda, I created the name, the poster, and the visual identity of the exhibition.
Throughout Graphic Design 3, we were mainly concerned with telling the stories we found within the data. With this exhibition poster, I wanted to tell the story of the students.
This process began in excel where I encoded the time slots of all four sections of Graphic Design 3 over the 12 week fall semester. Each hour of class = one black cell. The poster becomes a "calendar" that records the hours us students dedicated to creating the work being exhibited.
The eyes are images of my friends' eyes converted into ascii art to reflect the variety of perspectives—or "Realities"—we explored through data vis.
