Life Cycle Analysis.

Another recent university project was about sustainability and product design. The brief was to work in a group, take an ubiquitous product and deconstruct it into its parts, weigh each component, undertake a Life Cycle Analysis of it, and produce an  A2 poster with relevant infographics.
My group, consisting of myself, Eva, and Ali, decided to focus on a STABILO Boss Original highlighter seeing as it is a frequently used stationary item yet one that not many people think about the environmental impact of.
As well as participating in some of the research, I illustrated the process tree (to depict the journey from the raw material of oils, to the highlighter's final destination as landfill), and illustrated the highlighter (in deconstructed and infographic forms). Special thanks to Ali for designing the layout of the poster and putting it all together!
