About Lost Species Ngā Whakaahua Mātauranga

Ko ngā whakaahua pārongo e toru te tūāpapa hei whakauru i te kaupapa o te Pānga-Lazarus. Kei roto ko "Ngā Whakakorenga Nui e Ono", "Te Tirohanga Mate o ngā Momo", me tētahi whakaahua pārongo o ngā "Tipu Rārahi me ngā Tipu Puāwai o te Rohe" (i ahu mai i te Rote Liste, 2018). Ka ahu mai te Pānga Lazarus i te kaupapa o te Pānga-Lazarus, i hangaia e te tohunga koiora tawhito a David Jablonski. E pā ana tēnei ki te kitenga anō (mā te ohorere, mā te haerenga tirotiro, mā ngā kaupapa nekehanga rānei) o tētahi momo ora i ngaro, i whakaarohia rānei kua korehāhā i mua.

Tags: Lazarus Effect, Infographics, Natural sciences, mass extinction, extinction, animal welfare
Production Technology: First a drawn layout, than Adobe Illustrator (only used trackpad)
Design Challenge: The hardest part was it to visually compress the complex topic informations of extinction from the anthropological, biological and paleontological side into an understandable graphic. The infographics are a part of the Lazarus Effect-Campaign, special attention is paid to the complementary interaction.
The subject deals with the death and (mass) extinction. The black and white style in detail and the rich contrasted illustrations are the best way of visualization and communication for this serious topic.
Research: Research with anthropological, biological and paleontological literature, as well as support of various natural history museums.
The design is rich in detail. They are drawn as vector graphics in black and white and thus fits in well with most of the musee's scenographic installations.

The graphics are structured in such a way that the viewer can discover more and more. All thre infographics are in a large-format and understandable for everyone. The Topics are compressed and build on on each other.
Inspiration: To educate about the extinction history and to promote the idea of sustainability among the general public, with emphases that extinction can be reversed, and to raise awareness of positive and negative human in uences on Nature. They are a part of the LazarusEffect campaign.
Project Duration: The project startet in may 2020
Operation Flow: The information graphics have been developed to accompany and introduce the Lazarus Effect campaign.
