The goal of this project was to design a visually appealing, cohesive, and easy-to-understand infographic on a topic relevant to young adults. I chose to focus on phone and media addiction, aiming to visually emphasize the immersive nature of social media by depicting the sensation of being 'lost in space.'

Process

In researching this topic and my audience, I realized the importance of eye-catching and memorable graphics. I imagined the scenario of a student walking down a hallway lined with posters, and asked myself: what would make them stop and actually take notice? In these early drafts, I prioritized the header and closing graphics, knowing I wanted the viewer to feel like they were being drawn into a space—almost transported—just like the matching character in the design. The goal was to create an experience that feels immersive from the very first glance.

Final Work

Inspiration for this design came from the movie Get Out, where the protagonist is hypnotized and falls into a disorienting, space-like headspace with no clear way out. This mirrors the experience many people have on social media—intending to check just a few messages, only to lose track of time and spend hours online. I felt this was a fitting visual metaphor for that sensation. Throughout the design process, I aimed to maintain elements that conveyed the feeling of 'falling,' as well as the themes of space and technology. One challenge was finding clear, understandable visuals for the specific percentages and topics I wanted to cover. While various elements could have worked within this theme, I had to carefully balance recognizable graphs and data with visually engaging elements to ensure clarity and impact.
