Overview
Plastic pollution has emerged as one of the most serious global environmental issues today due to the non-degradability of plastic. This project focuses on everyday plastic packaging, showing its life cycle from production and disposal to its breakdown into microplastics and ultimately returning to the human body.
Research question
How can I use 2D animation and data visualisation to educate
plastic pollution awareness?
Storyboard
Styleframe
The endless Flow layout paired with split-motion transitions, guiding viewers through the data story in one uninterrupted sweep. To avoid flat looking infographic animation, I applied key scenes with 3D elements and illustrations enhanced by fake 3D effect, adding depth and energy to each section. The particle simulator is reminiscent of floating microplastics, visually reinforcing the project’s themes.The result is a visually layered narrative that feels both seamless and immersive.
