Once upon a beginning infographic

Brief

Design an infographic poster showing how stories begin in different languages around the world.
Include illustrations and a list of notable facts.

Project Type: Visual Communication Design

The intro phrases were divided into 10 different categories based on research material. Then, the countries were color-coded accordingly.
Then a grid system and facts about the subject were added.

Since the subject of the infographic has a historical, and cultural theme, the design was inspired by old and fantastical maps. To add a more fantastical feel to the piece, illustrations were created based on some of the most visually striking intros to stories.

Kazakh: "A long long time ago, when goats had feathers"

Filipino: “At the beginning of time”

Korean: "Back when tigers used to smoke tobacco”

Esperanto: "In a time already long past, when it was still of use to cast a spell"
