Happy belated(? eh, what are special days anyway) #IWD2022! Here are some illustrations and visualizations I did for a collaborative IG-based story by @konti_sg and Blood on period poverty and education in Asia!

By talking about concepts like visual grammar, statistical literacy, and data ethics, we hope to help people look at data more critically and start a conversation (and if it gets more people interested in dataviz, that’s a bonus)!

We made data portraits for @konti_sg team and participants of @hellopeiying's data storytelling workshop last Saturday, based on questionnaire planned out by @Patcheez94! 😄 This was fun to design and discuss with the design team. Legends on this thread!

This was also a really fun story to do illustrations for, but also harder than expected. There's so much depth in feng shui, and honestly it can be hard to sort through the various articles and look for balanced views on it! This had to be my fav, and it took sometime to revise:

These were the sketches I had for the cover! I think the other concept, where a couple is watching a BL show on TV and are subtly reflected on screen, sounds cooler in my head. The final one is ultimately clearer and more impactful.

Also, here's a process of the smooth-coated otter #illustration! I'm now addicted to drawing on #procreate. Also grateful that Gwyneth listed some unique traits of the otters, you can see me revising inaccurate parts of the otter drawing on later stages hahaha

Some comments I received from @zafirahmzein and @kennethywee were to 1) go for a subtler approach (less physical, as the problem is a complex economical one) and 2) to put more emphasis on the farmers. Compare first sketch to final. I'm happy with what we ended up with!

Doing the cover illustration for this was interesting too, because 1) it's a style I don't draw often in and 2) there were a lot of narrative and visual elements we could go for. Take a peek at the....spreadsheet I created that Bella and I used to choose 😂
