Exhibition Microsite: 1964 > 2020 TIME LIFE Science Series
Mathematics (1963), by David Bergamini
Objectives:
Recreate and design infographics for the TIME LIFE Mathematics (1963), by David Bergamini. Learn how to make compelling infographics, charts, diagrams, and maps. Animate aspects of them to make them interactive.
Design a system of icons [03] that can portray other contents in the microsite exhibits.
Learn about HTML and CSS and how to make your graphics 21st century looking and in a mode that is contemporary and of the now.
INSPIRATION
Iconography
This is the collection of the icon made for this project. Each one is meant to represent a time period of discovery with the exception of the 3 mathematical symbols as they are a revision of the icon present in the back of the book.
Infographics
I created a set of infographics to cover some of the significant discoveries and advancement within the field of mathematics throughout the centuries. These were the covers for the choreograph I made for with Knightlab's story map feature. Use the link below to view the choreograph.

Statement:
My project was to cover Life Science Library Mathematics by David Bergamini. My first time reading the book, I felt a strong sense of diversity. Every subject that was presented within the book was influenced or expanded on by previous philosophers and mathematicians. So I wanted to expand a little bit on this prestigious bloodline. While the Mediterranean region generally dominated within the expansion of math, much of their work was build upon principal found in other ancient societies such as the early Vedic and Chinese societies. This Choreograph is meant to give you an overview of this research.
Throughout this project, I tried to create mini Infographics for each individual era in order to cover important information as well as provide a general summary of the contribution provided by certain civilizations. I wanted as many civilizations that contributed to modern technological advances, but I found that to be quite difficult to accomplish considering that is meant to be a simple infographic so I ended up having to settle on the most notable discoveries and theories. I say this not to discount the important advances made in the field of mathematics due to other societies such as the Mayans, but just to say that Math is in sense the closest thing we have to a universal language. That being said, I hope you enjoy the show and possibly learn something new.
