Sleep. A subject very near my heart as an insomniac since the tender age of 11… Oh, the many ways I can relate to this project: the unusual working hours, the minimal shut-eye, the research and finally the after thought on how to improve an already completed project.
This project initially started as a part of my Senior Capstone project—I had developed these horrific sleep patterns and was comfortable with them, I did well throughout the day on only a few hours of shut-eye. One of my professors expressed concern and suggested that I create an infographic piece to explore sleep, and more specifically, my own habits.
Research was extensive and thorough, and at one point had me sleeping 4 or 5 times a day as a part of the research of polyphasic sleep patterns. The beauty here, is that I was getting phenomenal amounts of work done in the middle of the night and getting more sleep than I had before the project started. This is actually the second version of this poster. The first version received this response in critique: “It’s good. Do it again.” So I did it again over the course of countless sleepless nights, and the result is far better than I initially expected.
I only wish I had chosen a neon spot color for the green, to really make it glow.
