Since the early days of science and astronomy, the debate of extraterrestrial life has sparked a lot of interest from people all over the world. Though there have been numerous accounts of purported sightings, physical evidence of alien life remains elusive. This has led to a divide amongst those looking for answers, with some obsessed with finding evidence of extraterrestrial life and others still rejecting the idea altogether.
This project aims to explore the phenomenon of extraterrestrial life by providing an interactive infographic of alien conspiracies in Canada. It will explore the statistics of alien believers in Canada as well as sightings of extraterrestrial life and references of aliens in our daily lives. By using the interactive navigation throughout the infographic, the user will gain a better understanding and be able to engage in a fun way of learning informations about the topic.
The project is started with the research of the statistics of believers and sightings of the extraterrestrial life. Once the research is done, the next step is to plan the content of the interactive infographic project into pages. The content should be organized in a logical manner, so that the audience can easily follow the flow of the narrative. After planning the content, research on the look and feel of the infographics begin and determine the colour, type and style of vector graphics that should be included. The design should ties well with the project topic in an effective and visually appealing manner. Once the design has been established, the project was coded in HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The contents were then animated with GSAP to provide an engaging and interactive feel. Audio of voiceover and sound effects were included to make the whole experience even better.
The final result of the project is a pre loader, a begin presentation screen, an intro screen, 4 content pages and 1 reference page. The project was successful and achieved the objective of a fun and informative interactive infographic. The final screens design can be found below with a link to the project.
