Objective
The objective of this project was to create a captivating poster, magazine spreads, and phone application that features quantitative research, information and data incorporated into various graphic models. These visual representations needed to be designed and presented in a way that’s quick and concise for the viewer to easily understand.
Value Proposition
I had no previous knowledge of any information pertaining to dreams or lucid dreaming. I was able to work objectively and use data and research to drive my designs and graphic models. I analyzed scientific studies, recent research and scanned through large amounts of data and text to pull out the most relevant information. I took this information and visually translated it into an easy to understand infographic for the average or time conflicted person to quickly interpret and take away the most useful information.
Challenges
A challenge for this project was to visually show, with data, that dreams are necessary for mental, emotional, and physical health. Equally as challenging was to find a solution that explains how dreams are a window to our subconscious by revealing a person’s unconscious desires, thoughts and motivations.

Solutions
- Organize data in simple graphic models for people to easily see the positive benefits of having dreams and utilizing lucid dreaming
- Use visual hierarchy and page layout to guide the users’ attention around the page
- Provide examples of the benefits to lucid dreaming in order to engage audiences that might be skeptical
- Create balance between visuals and data
Brand Promise
Creating balance between visuals and data while using informative, easy to interpret graphic models.
The Story
This was a semester long infographic project. Our professor told use to choose a topic that we knew very little about since we planned to spend the next four months working on it. After a few days of brainstorming potential topics, and a few nights of bizarre dreams, I decided to use dreams as the topic for my project. I’m not the type of person who believes in horoscopes, astrology, fortune telling or anything that seems slightly skeptical. However, I love science and data. It’s hard to argue facts backed with proven research. I wanted to create an infographic that could persuade a skeptic, like myself, to believe that dream control is possible and that it’s actually beneficial to our emotional, mental and physical health.
