About Me:
My name is Eric and I am currently pursuing a master’s degree in American Studies at Brown. I also work full-time at Brown in Athletic Communications.
Curation Project Idea:
For my curation project, I wanted to learn a new visualization application and use that design tool to present a small set of data in a more dynamic way. I regularly use Photoshop and InDesign with my everyday job, so I turned to Adobe Illustrator in order to make a more data-driven infographic, using college hockey players in the National Hockey League as the subject. The goals of the project were: 1) learn a new visualization application with some sort of graph component and 2) stick to the curation theme of the project by managing a larger set of data.
