2˚ Difference

This project was about the impact of climate change on California agriculture. The change in temperature over the last hundred years is so small that the impact of climate change can be a hard subject to wrap your head around. I decided to use produce and California agriculture data as a method to make climate change a tangible idea. The posters are printed and show how sensitive these crops are to external forces, the environmental requirements for the crops to grow and a changing environment, and their economic value. I researched the isotype and different types of data visualization. Both Otto Neurath and Edward Tufte were sources of inspiration for me and their individual approach to data helped me took at all the data I collected in a different way.
