Matt Kursmark’s Visualization of Jetlag

For his third year information graphics class, Matt Kursmark created a fantastic pair of infographics about the causes of Jetlag.

These panels are the result of my third year information graphics class. The assignment was to choose any sequence, cycle, or evolution and represent it graphically. The information was to be presented in two separate panels that were related but could also function independently of one another.

The two infographics (visible on his site in more detail) show circadian rhythm cycles, the effects of the pineal gland and melatonin, and the effects of a 48-hour travel cycle.
