HOW SOON IS NOW

How Soon Is Now is an infographic project that emphasis on the importance of the effects that Carbondioxide (CO2) have on the global warming situation. I focused on the amount of CO2 that human produced via the usage of fossil fuel, in relation with the rising temperature, negative effects on environments and disaster that will follow up.
 
The data and statistic that was used in this project was organised by David McCandless.
 

The title of the project is a reference from the rock band The Smiths, from their 1985’s single “How Soon Is Now?” The lewis dot diagrams between two O letters is a formula for Carbon dioxide, aka CO2.

How much CO2 that we had produced?
How soon is the climate change will be approaching us?
Unfortunately, it is now.

As the infographic were mainly focused on the climate change and its effects, the colour pallete was chosen to represent the rising temperature. Several element in was changed little by little as the world move towards higher temperature.
 
 
ADOBE DIGITAL PUBLICATION SUITE 
A digital edition of infographic was designed with the device compability and user interaction in mind rather than using the same appoarch with its print sibling. Instead of using a large amount of text like in traditional way of editorial design. I choosed to tackle it like a mobile application design since people tended to be more interactive, playing around with the device rather than reading it passively. 
 
In the wireframe design I decided to hide the text by replace it with icon, numerical figure and button. See the Vimeo video below to see how it work.
