About Lost Species 教育插畫

呢三幅資訊圖表係用嚟引入「拉撒路效應」呢個主題嘅基礎。當中包括「六大物種大滅絕」、「物種死亡監測」，以及一幅關於「本地蕨類植物同開花植物」嘅資訊圖表（根據2018年《紅色名錄》）。拉撒路效應係源自古生物學家David Jablonski所提出嘅「拉撒路效應」主題。呢個效應係指意外地重新發現（無論係偶然、透過考察或者透過遷移計劃）一種以往被認為已經失落或者絕種嘅生命形態。

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.
