Weather Map
This next section is about a design I made for my memoir: the New York Times Weather Map. This project was my first abstract design. In this project, I looked at a weather report from the New York Times and used the information to create a weather map. I attempted to design this poster where the typography is the image.
The content is all the weather information placed in order from top to bottom. I wanted to visualize the type to make it look like it was raining on the man with the umbrella, the only image on the map. The typography also varies in size and boldness depending on how important the information is. I also tried to be playful with the uppercase and lowercase letters in the typography, as you can see with the word Sunday.
I added yellow lines on the top right of the poster to make it look like sun rays were coming in. This idea was meant to emphasize the word sunshine nearby. The project was completed in April 2018.
