The Philadelphia School District approached our class for guidance on how to effectively design brochures that utilized their new data findings from the 2021 Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Working in three different teams: color, type, and iconography, our class was able to successfully create a system that is meaningful and visually appealing to both staff and students. All data is displayed in a professional format, while the front of the brochure acts as a poster that can be hung up either by the students themselves or by the staff.

This team project involved pulling data from the Philadelphia Youth Risk Behavior Survey, and finding creative ways to humanize and tell a story with that data for a client (the School District of Philadelphia). My individual topic was food insecurity. I wanted to tell a narrative about the data trend in how minority and disenfranchised groups are affected disproportionately by food insecurity. These said groupings were race, sex, and sexual orientation. Through the brochure’s layout, color, typography, and pictorial data visualizations like food and human iconography I believe I was successful in humanizing the statistics and making the information easy to digest.

In collaboration with the School District of Philadelphia, I created a brochure exploring School Connectedness to high schoolers and their guardians. This creates the conversation of belongingness in school in regards to race and asking questions on how we can feel included in the academic system.

The final project in information design was a class project designing for the Philadelphia School District Youth Risk Behavior Survey. We were split up into three teams, the layout team, color team, and I was on the icon and illustration team. My team set the style guidelines for how the icons should look. We also each got our own subject, and mine was bullying. The layout team decided the design would be a brochure, and the color team assigned the colors that each subject used.
