Mexican Migration
A study about the largest immigrant group in the United States
This info graphic book is the result of a long research about the Mexican migration phenomenon. The project required accurate sets of data to be cross referenced and explain many questions that were raised throughout the initial phase of research. The book form resulted from the consideration of the causes for the migratory phenomenon as well as the current state of the Mexican immigration in the States. The data was collected from the U.S. Census Bureau from 2000 and other official sources available from the Mexican Government.
This project was developed as an independent study under the instruction of Stephen Farrel while at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
