Data Visualization: Are You A Donor?Audience: General lay audience
Client: Professor Jodie Jenkinson
Format: Digital Infographic
Tools used: Adobe Illustrator, RawGraphs
Completed: April 2026
As a completion of the Information Visualization course within the MSc Biomedical Communications program, I created this infographic to visualize trends within organ transplantation. Specifically, comparing the number of people that are waiting on an organ transplant, that receive a transplant, and that become too sick waiting on a transplant with the rates of organ donation. This work aims to raise awareness about the ever-growing organ transplant waitlist and encourage the audience to learn more about the donation process.
