Grainger Data Narratives
CATEGORIES | UI DESIGN, ICONOGRAPHY, VISUAL DESIGN
Grainger is dedicated to giving helpful tools and information to its customers. The goal was to provide a collection of interactive infographics to educate and inform. The tool would explore hidden metrics and stories often only uncovered through well thought-out charts and graphs. I designed the UI for the data based off of the OHSA Top 10 and came up with several explorations. We wanted to elevate the graphics by using a clean style in order to communicate information simply but effectively.
Style Explorations
The first steps of the design process was exploring the style of the data narratives. These designs were preliminary and meant to start a conversation about the look and feel. Thin or bold and minimal or complex- were attributes we focused on.
