Haze
Visual System and Illustration Approach
The visual language is built around a modular illustration system that balances approachability with informational clarity. Friendly character illustrations, simplified environmental scenes, and a cohesive icon set are used to break down complex health and safety information into digestible visual units. Colour palettes and contrast are carefully calibrated to maintain readability while supporting emotional engagement.
Information Hierarchy and Layout
Each spread is structured using a clear visual hierarchy that guides readers through content intuitively. Key messages are prioritised through scale, spacing, and icon-led sections, allowing readers to quickly identify symptoms, risks, and recommended actions. Infographics are designed to function independently or as part of a continuous narrative, making the book suitable for both guided learning and self-study.
Educational Storytelling Through Design
Illustration is used not only to decorate but to explain. Environmental scenes contextualise the disaster, while step-by-step visuals support behavioural guidance such as recognising ISPA symptoms, preparing safe school environments, and responding correctly during haze conditions. This narrative-driven approach helps transform abstract health information into relatable, memorable knowledge.
Design Outcome
The result is a visually consistent, educational tool that bridges design and public health communication. By integrating illustration, data visualisation, and structured content design, Disaster Guidance: Haze demonstrates how graphic design can function as a strategic medium for social impact, delivering vital information with clarity, empathy, and visual coherence.
