The goal of giving form to a complex situation like the credit crisis is to quickly supply the essence of the situation to those unfamiliar and uninitiated. This project was completed as part of my thesis work in the Media Design Program, a graduate studio at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.

This is nicely done. For a more in depth, but still highly accessible, explanation, check out the three (and counting) special episodes of This American Life from the recent year. No jargon, no buzz words. Some of the finest general-audience journalism on the crisis that I’ve come across.
1. The Giant Pool of Money — talks about the subprime mortgage problem.

2. Another Frightening Show About the Economy — explains how the subprime problem spread to become a general credit problem.

3. The Bad Bank — explains the problem banks are in, and the different approaches to fixing it.
