Collaborative Interactive Examining Climate Change and Human Health
This was a fun, multi-month project I collaborated on with fellow NEJM coworkers to bring to life Dr. Renee Salas’s insight on the intersection of climate change and human healthcare. We held several brainstorming meetings to refine the scope of this ambitious project. Additionally, we tested out several schematic styles and color schemes before we landed on the final aesthetic. We designed the user interface with the goal of creating a product that was easy to navigate, clear in presentation, and engaging to interact with. The design was then passed along to the programmer on our team to build the interactive itself.
The illustration work was divided up. I created the image for the Climate Drivers section (left). There were a lot of fun details and it was a challenge to figure out how to smoothly transition the three different environments in one image. I also created many of the icons featured in the interactive (right). The final product is an invaluable collection of information to help health care providers address critical climate concerns in relation to human health. See the full interactive here.
