Project
Today, roughly 23 billion shoes are produced each year. So, how can we balance our love of sneakers with the need for sustainability?
I worked with the team at TED-Ed to visualize womenswear designer Angel Chang's lesson on how shoe manufacturing impacts our planet.
Role
A challenge in this piece was conveying the complexity of this topic in a visual form that was both factually accurate, and comprehensible for our audience. This required close collaboration between myself, the designer/animator, and Angel Chang, the educator on this piece.
To help achieve this I designed a stylistic approach that was bold, yet minimal, using chunky “cut out” shapes. This approach to style acted as a juxtapose to the complexity of the text, allowing me the ability to use transitions and compositions that communicated the essence of ideas to our viewers.
