Objective: Design an interactive report covering an issue through touch-screen and tablet interactions.
Result: A report, "Coming Home: PTSD & Veterans," including an infographic on military suicides.

2012 had the highest number of military suicides in recent years — amounting to about one suicide per day. This interactive infographic, built in Fall 2012, serves to visualize the magnitude of the losses. Along with the infographic, the report contains resources and personal experiences about the effects and risks of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder on veterans' lives.

 

IxD Demo Video

A reader “scrubs” through the timeline, and witnesses the number of soldiers' lives lost. The data visualization builds a symbolic shape of a soldier’s helmet, paying homage to the modern-day memorial battlefield cross made with a soldier’s helmet, rifle, boots and dog tags.
