UBUNTU WILDLIFE MAGAZINE
For the 10 edition of the Ubuntu magazine, I created a full- spread infographic and spot illustrations that highlight the conservation stories. The infographic features the 3 most threatened places and ecosystems in the world, using stats, short text and illustrations to make it visually pleasing to the eye. To make the infograpic more approachable I decided to go for authentic, hand-drawn illustrations.
The biggest challenge with this infographic was to translate scientific language and facts to be more digestible and visually pleasing to the eye.
Working with the writing team and the creative director, we simplified the text and used illustrations to highlight the threats to animals and the habitats.
The outcome
After a few rounds of illustration iterations, text placements and spell checking, we arrived at the final result. What was a big block of text is now a comprehensive and visually pleasing infographic. Each area that is featured has their own color to help split up the information and make it easily digestible.
