In 2020, scientist Siouxsie Wiles started collaborating with illustrator Toby Morris to create infographics about the COVID-19 outbreak. Their work is an example of visual communication design at its most effective. I chose to represent their story through a pop-up book. I used pop-ups to engage my target audience of primary school children while exploring the distressing concepts of pandemics and COVID-19.
