Bubble Diagram Work



These are the bubble diagrams I did for my group presentation of the shelter bus community. They represent the first time I have really done something like this in such a polished form to present. Normally they are much sketchier and are used solely for process and personal reasons. This is much trickier to get right than one would think at first glance.
Self Critique and Ideas:

- The lettering should be much bolder, use a black marker and not a pen
- Use non-bleeding, alcohol proof pens and markers so the colors don't smear your lettering or borders
- Use hierarchy of line widths and segment lengths to show relationships and connections on different levels
- Group similarly colored bubbles closer together and not so spread out
- Possibly use paler colors so the lettering stands out more.
- Work on getting just the right values of color for each color group to show hierarchy
- Experiment with using a background to ground the composition, or try different paper [possibly gray]

This all is just me copying other individual's style in doing this. Copy others until you find/develop your own. All in all, not a bad start I would say.
