A Nation Post Dobbs


A site prototype that utilizes data visualization to simplify relationships between abortion restriction and maternal mortality rates, looking at hard statistics of socioeconomic conditions, abstinence-only education, and maternal mortality rates in conjunction with abortion restriction level per state. This was visualized through a symbol polygon format. A hexagon with different levels of gradient represents how restricted a state was regarding abortion access, points on a star signifies the percentage per state population of those below the poverty line, an outline around said star represents states with abstinence-only educational mandates, and the size of a circle, small to large, directly corresponds to the number of maternal mortality rates per state. All of these visuals layer on top of another, on an interactive scale with toggle abilities, to reinforce understandings that these pieces of data are all connected, and worsen conditions for women when layered. The polygon symbols stand indvidually per state but also gather to form a larger national-scale map view, exemplifying how this issue operates on a larger, national scale.

DELIVERABLES -  INTERACTIVE SITE PROTOTYPE, PRINT COLLATERAL



BRANDING + INTERACTIVE + PRINT + ADVOCACY





[1] Zooming In—

Breaking down the visualization system to better understand how this data operates through its symbolism, at state levels and nationally.




[2] Walkthrough + Site Prototype

A walkthrough of the site and its features as well as a fully interactive prototype, and apply full screen for best use.











[3] Printed Collateral—

A printed version of the contents of the site, hilighting the national map and providing a key to understand how the data visualization symbols operate. I also created a pair of stickers for visibility purposes and as a tool for advocacy on the issue.

stickers available upon request!
