GeoGraphics is a 56-page publication curated and designed by students studying Digital Publishing at Monash University. It is a collection that highlights the graphic design byproducts of one of the six layers of “The Stack” — from the phantom vibration in your pocket, to dark search histories, to Siri’s watchful gaze — elements of the connected world we choose to ignore. This chapter focuses on the 2006 AOL search data leak whereby individuals could be identified and matched to their account and personal search history.

The project was broken into two components: a print publication featuring all the individual chapters, and a website, coded via Studio Visual Code, uploaded to GitHub to promote and represent these elements with chapters linked to each other.

The spreads are designed to replicate the idea of a search catalogue in a typographic manner, and the website an old internet browser of search “bubble” filters insprired by Brutalism.
