How tree rings tell time
and climate history
2023
Flexible Visual System
Graphic Design
Print and Digital Media; Static and Animated
First and Third tree rings are static
Second and Fourth tree rings can be adapted after different environmental factors
Colors defined after colors of the tree
Phase 1: Current state of the tree
Phase 2: Estimated state in 5o Years
University Project, 7th semester
This flexible graphic system shows the effects of the climate change on different trees. The more the tree rings are swinging, the more affected is the tree by the climate change. The first and third ring are always geometrical to give visual stability. The second and fourth rings have to be adopted after different environmental factors like heat, drought, winds, floods etc. Phase 1 of the system is the current state. Phase 2 is the estimated system in 50 years.
