INFOGRAPHIC COLLECTION

Here is a collection of ten infographics I created between 2012 and 2015. Oftentimes in addition to the design and illustration, I was charged with doing the research, creating the script, and copywriting. My role in the creation is detailed under each infographic.

The purpose of these infographics were to promote a product, service, or app. The hope was to encourage people to share these branded images on their social media networks by using fun graphics or by being informative on topics related to the product.
