The Design
About Lost Species Illustracions Educativas
Los tres grafics d'informacion servisson de basa per introdusir lo tèma de l'Efièch-Lazare. Includisson "Las Sièis Grandas Extincions Massivas", "La Velhada Mortuària de las Espècias", atal coma un grafic d'informacion de las "Plantas de Feuse e Plantas a Flors Localas" (basat sus la Rote Liste, 2018). L'Efièch Lazare se basa sul tèma de l'Efièch-Lazare, coma foguèt inventat pel paleontològ David Jablonski. Aquò pertòca la redescobèrta involontària (per azard, a travèrs d'expedicion o a travèrs de projèctes de relocalizacion) d'una forma de vida anteriorament perduda o considerada extincha.

- 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.
