Dementia Prevention
Graphic Design II
Tasked to research a scientific topic and create an infographic of the information found.
I chose the subject of dementia, or really dementia prevention, as it is an interesting subject to me and it has a chance of affecting many people.

I began ideating concepts, especially thinking of themes such as the human brain, the game of life or a path through life, and taking main inspiration from the risk factors.
Once I had a concept, I knew I wanted focus to be on each of the risk factors, so I drew each of them. I decided on using stippling as the technique, it remined me of old medical journals or personal research notes.
The final concept of this infographic is the path through life. It is sectioned with the stages of aging and the risk factors for dementia associated with that time of life.
The yellow “path” in the background starts out crisp and solid, and as life goes on and the effects of life set in, the path becomes more blurry and unclear with age.
I would imagine this poster to be displayed in a hospital waiting room or some kind of medical facility.
