For my Visual Storytelling for the Web class, I was placed in a group of fellow reporters, creatives and designers to create a journalistic piece that uses a variety of elements to tell an interactive story for readers. 

I took on the role of creative director and spearheaded the vision for our article, using interactive data charts, animations and pull-quotes to keep the readers’ attention. Acting as the main photographer, I also went on several outings to capture the background images and assisting elements for the story. 

Using Figma as the primary drafting platform, I created an outline for the story and mapped out how its interface would look and perform. In creating secondary elements, I relied on Procreate to illustrate the various animations and hand-draw pull-quotes as fun design elements to sprinkle throughout the story.
