Dowling | Duncan – Summer in SF

Summer in SF

Dowling | Duncan show off how to use gradients effectively with their “Summer in SF” cards. The cards were created for AIGA and available in museums around San Francisco.

San Francisco’s Tower Of Prostitution

Doug McCune builds mountains. He builds mountains with 2009 crime data from the city of San Francisco. Their height is related to how often the specific crime took place in an area. The mountains mapped above show the occurrences of Prostitution, which compared to Larceny and Assault looks like an easy hike.

In all fairness, we’re not saying San Francisco has a crime problem. It’s just the city that Doug used for his maps. We love San Francisco!
