Team Fortress 2: The Visualization
I’ve been writing a paper for my Visualizing Information class over the last two weeks. It focuses in on information graphics, particularly in the way that images and text can be used in conjunction with one another to reinforce meaning and reduce cognitive workload. My love of video games managed to work its way into the accompanying visualization, which had to take explain (with verbal and visual components) a problem difficult to explain with just words.
I present to you a brief overview of capture the flag on Team Fortress 2’s 2Fort map! It was my first time using Adobe Illustrator CS3, and I think it turned out rather well. I really want to keep practicing with the tools, so maybe I’ll end up making more of these for the other maps.
