I know I want to make graphs for my thesis project, but I've been struggling with the data and what data should I collect. So I started to just research and see what others have been doing. I started with books such as: idN extra07: designing data, Information is Beautiful, Information Graphics. Which then lead me to some artists such as Nicholas Felton, and David McCandless. Nicholas Felton's work is one of my favorites. From there I ended up watching TED talks, and though I still have no idea what my topic should be about I did find some interesting stuff on infographs.

You have a semester of work behind you. And an exhibition ahead. I suggest relying on what you have started as the source of your new endeavor.
