Visual Comm Post 1/2: Week 5

For our second assignment in Visual Communications we were assigned another set of codes and instructed to emphasize these codes by finding an actual site that demonstrates these codes. We had to take pictures and then use Photoshop and Illustrator to emphasize these codes. My work is presented below.

Visual Comm Post 1/2: Week 1

Working on building codes now. I must say I am quite interested in this. My current profession is a registered nurse and I used to work as a home health nurse some time ago. For 8 months dealing with ICD-9 or medical coding was my life, and I hated it. I thought, who would've thought there were 16 different ways to code Diabetes? Building codes are some what the same way, only this time I enjoy it. May be because I'm intrigued by interior design and learning codes that have such a profound impact on how one designs a building or a space. I'm not sure. What I do know is that unlike people, buildings and spaces don't talk back; at least not verbally. Hope that doesn't sound as bad as I think! Anyway these were my assigned building codes from the 2012 NC Building Codes:

1210.3 Showers
1005.2 Door Encroachments
