Infographic titled "Ocean Pollution" from worldoceannetwork.org, presenting key statistics about marine pollution across three visual layers representing the ocean surface, water column, and seabed.
Surface level highlights four facts: poisonous algal species have increased threefold; 1 in 20 adults will become ill after a single exposure to contaminated water; cigarettes are the most collected item during beach clean-ups; and 15% of our annual food intake consists of microplastics.
Mid-water level shows three statistics illustrated with silhouettes of marine animals: 267 marine species are prone to ingesting plastic debris (illustrated with a sea turtle); 55% of the fish we eat have ingested plastic (illustrated with fish among plastic bags); and 100,000 marine creatures die per year from plastic entanglement (illustrated with a seal tangled in debris). Two additional facts are noted: 70% of litter sinks to the seabed, and the average lifespan of a plastic bag is just 12 minutes.
This #infographic by Stephanie Phung is always a favorite example during my workshops.
✅ What WORKS in this infographic?
• Consistency: colors, fonts, font sizes and illustration style are the same throughout the entire visual. Everything in the visual belongs together.
