THE PROJECTThe goal of this project was to design the visual display of a non-linear film, by synthesizing, organizing and displaying the key components in a way that invites the viewer to navigate the information. This project was created for DESN 313: Information Design (Fall 2017).
THE MOVIEInterstellar is a science fiction film directed by Christopher Nolan (2014). The film takes place in Earth’s future, when global crops are failing and terrible dust storms are rendering the planet uninhabitable. Professor Brand (Michael Caine), a NASA physicist, is working on plans to save mankind by transporting Earth’s population to a new home via a worm-hole. Former NASA pilot Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) and a team of researchers are sent through the wormhole to a different galaxy to find mankind’s new home. The film follows the researchers, Cooper and his daughter Murphy (Jessica Chastain) on a journey through time and space.
This infographic poster displays the time line of Interstellar in a visual and comprehensive way, using the scientific model of relativity to display information and events. It simplifies the seemingly-confusing time jumping from Earth to Space time.
SKETCHES
DATA CREATIONTo gather data and content for the infographic, I began by watching the movie and recording details for every event, minute by minute. This was one of the main challenges of the proj-ect, as the data needed to be synthesized and organized before any of the visual elements could be created.
RESEARCHI began researching the science and theories discussed by the characters in the movie, and discovered that Einsteins’ theory of relativity could create the shape for the movie time line.

Do not go gentle into that good night,Old age should burn and rave at close of day;Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,Because their words had forked no lightning theyDo not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how brightTheir frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sightBlind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.Do not go gentle into that good night.Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
