Timeline through my travels

Biography: Crista Hirzel was born and raised in Zurich, Switzerland, into the grid system, where she found traveling the most freeing and educating experience. She decided to study in the United States, for a less constraining education and to enjoy the wide open spaces. Crista recently graduated from Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, with a Bachelor's of Fine Arts Degree in graphic design and photography. Crista plans to work in Switzerland or another European country.

Objective: The objective of this project was to look closely at the role of typography in information design, especially at its functionality. This project was meant to portray a timeline through my travels that considers culture, politics, and death.

Tools used: I used Adobe® Photoshop® for the entire piece. It was especially useful for the stamps and their random placement.
