'merica

For my final Advanced Informational Graphics capstone project at Ohio University, we seniors were allowed to make anything we wanted. The only parameter? It had to capture someone's attention. Easy enough, right? As graduation quickly approached, I began reflecting more frequently on my four years of college. In the midst of those thoughts, I decided to document all the places I visited throughout the U.S. as an undergraduate student. Although the headline hints at a campaign of some sort, I promise it has nothing to do with an election. I came up with this idea after looking through the Places album in Photos on my MacBook, wondering how I could integrate my photo location information into a graphic. My initial plan was to focus on Ohio, but I soon realized how much ground I'd covered in the past four years and decided to go nationwide. My goal with this project was to see where I've gone and where I want to go, as well as develop a mini diary with a smattering of anecdotes.
