Life Graph
| 8.08.2004
During the last few months, I've been working on getting my portfolio site together (hoverpod.com). It's a daunting task-sort of a library of congress for all the work I've been doing over the last 10 years. Like any good site, they're is always the "about me" section that contains the obligatory resume. Just when you thought you had updated it for the last *$*#) time, it's time to do it all over again! For almost any profession, it's a must but for a creative they're is always that drive to do something a little more creative and "out there" that haunts us to no end.
After cafeful thinking and some creative brainstorming, I decided that eventual employers should see the real me...the whole me...the "show" from the beginning and thus I created a LifeGraph charting my life post-womb to present. With icons, color, shading and a good legend, this LifeGraph does a pretty good job of contexualizing employment, education and other interesting facts (such as the boss who hated me and my dance with death) along my entire life cycle. Sort of an Information Architecture of my life.
It was an interesting exercise. I'd actually forgotten half the jobs I've had and aligning my various job to points in my life actaully brough some clarity to why I chose particular paths. Check it out at hoverpod.com and keep a look-out for the flash version.
