University Project | Work: Research, Graphic Design, Copywriting
Overview
This project aimed to create an impactful infographic that conveys information through a compelling narrative and visual storytelling. The main goal was to deal with bullying, and the chosen way to do this was a series of posters for a campaign to raise awareness. The goal was to raise awareness and engage viewers in understanding the serious impact of bullying.
Challenge
The challenge in this project was to transform initially corporate-looking, emotionless presentations into visually engaging and emotionally resonant posters. Finding the right balance between visual elements, color palette, and copywriting tone while maintaining factual accuracy posed a significant challenge. The need to tell a compelling story through collected data required iterative exploration and thoughtful decision-making.
Iterations
After gathering all the data and brainstorming the story I wanted to convey with the numbers, I began sketching ways to visually present this information in a compelling way, as demonstrated below.
