Envision War's Blight

The scope of this project was to choose an ongoing crisis and display information about it using infographics on a large-format poster, in addition to three AR posters and an explainer video. At the end of the project, each student presented their work to professional designers.

This was my first time working on an illustration-based project, and I was eager to lean into the aspect of storytelling. For the global crisis, I chose the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and I came up with a plot to help me think about what I could illustrate and how I could display my research. I created a speculative vision of the conflict by imagining a haunting future where fallen soldiers have reanimated, unleashing chaos across the city of Kyiv, Ukraine. Through this fictional lens, the project explores the lingering consequences of war and uses the metaphor of reanimation to symbolize how the destruction of war refuses to stay buried.
