Yoga Facts Infographic
An infographic poster aimed to introduce yoga and its growing practice in the US.
Overview
According to a 2016 “Yoga in America” national study, 28% of Americans are yoga practitioners. Having recently started to learn yoga myself, I wanted to research and convey yoga’s prevalence and benefits to the public, in the hopes of helping more people improve mental and physical health through yoga.
In creating this infographic, I selected 4 infographics as my visual language, color, typography, and layout models. I exploited visual potentials and visual design principles for my final design. Each display is designed and iterated based on the viewer’s feedback.
I created a portfolio site detailing my entire design process. I also created a video to demonstrate my design considerations. Welcome to check them out!

Retrospective & Takeaways
The process of creating this infographic has greatly improved my skills and knowledge in visual design. My understanding of visual design theories (such as visual language & hierarchy, encodings, unity & variety, color, and typography) is deepened. Emulating models teaches me how to work around design constraints like the limited color palette and fixed layout.
Good visuals don’t necessarily mean good UX, but good UX must have nice and clean visuals. Applying these theories to UX design will help me create more intuitive and compelling visuals as a UX & Product Designer. Thank you Prof. Marilyn Ostergren for all the support, I had such a fun time studying and working on Visual Information Design!
