visual solutions
Illustrations + information design
With the cocoa supply chain in place, we began the creative process. Hand-drawn illustrations were used to capture the unique aspect of the supply chain. Each illustration complemented each other in the infographic. The information and the design balanced each other to provide the viewer with a closer understanding into a complex supply chain. The infographics were formatted as A4 to allow use for various communication channels.
