Algal blooms in the Northeast of the United States has covered much of its lakes. Scientist, David Richardson, devised a project to determine why and how this is happening, and what people can do to keep Northeastern waters cleaner for both people and the lake's inhabitants.
Myself and another designer were asked to create a motion graphics video to educate the Northeastern USA about the freshwater research the Science Department had been conducting. I was responsible for all of the illustrations.
Client—SUNY New Paltz, NY

My partner and I did extensive research on the subject matter to compile a database of information to incorporate in our motion graphics video. Here are some shots of our preparation work. As you can see, much of the process work has evolved!
