Project 1
Display the progress of time in a non-traditional way.
After reading an article outlining fears about the possible havoc the Large Hadron Collider may have wreaked on the universe when it came online a couple of weeks ago, I got thinking about doomsday scenarios and predictions (and how each one of them to this point has been wrong). So, I decided to visualize some of these predictions (past and present) in a playful 'apocalyptic clock.' The design of the clock is intended to loosely mimic the USA's Department of Homeland Security Threat Level graphics, which I find equally as ill-intentioned as perennial predictions of doom.
