I was approached by a professor to help convey a complex concept that emerged from their research on recent political DEI initiative shifts with the help of infographics. Ultimately they needed designed and illustrated slides for presentations being held across the country, specifically at universities. We had numerous discussions and briefings over the topics well before any design was started just so we could get a good understanding on the many areas they would be discussing while showing the slides. Using the Infographs styles that spoke the most to us, we worked towards a specific icon style and color palette that was clear and a play on primary colors as a nod to education. We landed on a representation of "law-based pressures" as a sort of weight being put on the higher education mission. It was really important for us to show the gravity this situation put on educators and education systems while still conveying hope with ways to help alleviate and navigate the murky waters of current policies.
