For the final project, I investigated the subject of clean water accessibility across countries and regions – revealing the gap between wealthy countries and the rest of the world.

The final infographic was designed to fit a double page of an infographic book aimed to inform and shed light on an important issue: one in four people do not have access to safe drinking water.

The first step was to define an investigative question, the brief and look for data from which to draw some answers. Once a reputable data source was found, I downloaded and analysed the data.

Before designing the visualisation, I put together some moodboards and explored a number of ideas on paper. Here are some snapshots of the ideation process.

Once I identified the best approach on paper, I encoded the data with Data Illustrator and I created a prototype to validate the chosen direction.

Then I imported the prototype into Adobe Illustrator. I created two dendrograms for the visualisation of country level data and two area charts to illustrate the overall trend across the last two decades for the two clusters – wealthy countries versus the rest of the world. I also added some illustrative elements (the taps and the glasses) and I refined the layout by adding all necessary annotations for effective reading and decoding of the data – including the key.

Finally I exported the infographic for different channels envisioning alternative formats – such as social media assets and an interactive digital experience to explore the data.

    Estos son los pasos esenciales que debe seguir para completar el proyecto final.


    • Elija una pregunta que desee responder y encuentre un conjunto de datos confiable

    • Prepare y explore los datos en Google Sheet e identifique información clave

    • Cree paneles de inspiración y comience a dibujar para transformar los números en un léxico visual convincente

    • Crea un prototipo de la visualización en el software que más te convenga
      • (Google Sheet, Tableau, Data Illustrator, Raw Graphs, Adobe Illustrator, lápiz y papel)
    • Diseñe el diseño y finalice la visualización utilizando Adobe Illustrator o cualquier otra herramienta de gráficos vectoriales

    • Prueba cómo otros decodifican tu diseño.

    • Finalmente, cree una variedad de formatos para diferentes canales y comparta su hermoso trabajo con toda la comunidad


    ¡No puedo esperar a ver tu trabajo y aprender de tus infografías!

    Esto es increíble, estoy pensando en tomar el curso. ¿Necesito tener experiencia trabajando con datos para tomar esta clase?

    @tinasol no necesita experiencia previa :) y puede usar cualquier herramienta para crear su visualización de datos. No es necesario que sea Adobe Illustrator y ni siquiera es necesario que esté en la computadora; simplemente puede usar lápiz sobre papel.
