01 INTRODUCTION
Last year of my college experience, a bitter sweet feeling that covers every day in class. It’s a time where some people lose sight of the importance of their work, as they try to wait out to the day they get their diploma. Though, there are a few who see this as their last time
to actually learn from professionals and the class mates around. It’s the last year they get to try different things, and get a pat on the back for trying something different, even if it fails. That’s what my mindset was for this year, my last few days to learn and absorb the knowledge form everyone around me.

MY NEW FAMILY My design community is very important to me, as I try to be involved with my peers, professors, and design events that are geared toward developing the design community. I have made many friends, coincidently they are the ones I sat next to during this whole year. That made things a lot more entertaining, so I can say I had a great last year.
MY NEW DIRECTION I have also went out of my comfort zone of the design school, and took a few courses form the school of fine art. I took a photography course, which I really enjoyed and it ended up helping me in some of my main design courses. And I also took a drawing course with really took me back to my drawing roots, and back to the reason why I wanted to do the Graphic Design major.

Daily Changes in Heart Rate / INFOGRAPHIC
Through some of my projects, I was able to design information. I believe information design is a very important field, as it add new layers to the data. I makes the information and ideas more easily accessible and easily communicated. And the data may potentially have more of an impact on the viewer, if design is used properly.
Sweet Addiction / CLOCK DESIGN
During the course of the year, I made two information graphics that relate to health. One tracked my heart rate throughout the day. While the other one is a simulation of sugar consumption of an average person in the US.

And I also had the opportunity to work on some animation graphics and videos. This was quite a new field to me for this year. As I learned who to move away from just having a still image, and adding movement to the image to complete the idea or story. I worked on a video that described the process of making photographs of the night sky. I also worked on a video that displayed the UI mock up of an application that displays different soccer statistics from the 2014 World Cup.

This year I also became a very health conscious person. It all started from the very first project of my senior year. This infographic was meant to represent 24 hours out of my life.
POSTER SHOW
I chose to track my heart rate because I recently found out that I had quite a slow heart beat, which is due to my highly active lifestyle and playing soccer on a daily basis. Thus, I wanted to see how my heart rate fluctuates form activity to activity.

02 POSTER SHOW INFOGRAPHIC SENIOR SHOW
A big part of the senior year is the fundraising of money for the senior exhibit. The largest amount of that money comes from an annual poster show that the Visual Communication senior students put on in November. Each student was to design a poster for the event that relates this idea of importance to have posters. My initial idea was to focus on the shifting the perspective of people about posters. Posters are not just paper on a wall, it is a work, a story, a specific viewpoint about the world around us.

02 POSTER SHOW INFOGRAPHIC SENIOR SHOW
22
A second direction I had for the poster was solely focused on the creative expression that happens in many posters. And all this expression happens from ink on paper. That idea drove the image of the poster and the image style as well. I chose to have this ink wave to further drive the origins of all these posters. And the half tone style was added to further display the amazing art of printing, and the print is done in dots on paper.

02 SENIOR SHOW INFOGRAPHIC POSTER SHOW
24
The Senior Exhibit is the finale of our four year journey as Visual Communication students. The exhibit consists of a collection of campaign about various relevant social issues. Since every student were going to receive a special place at the show; I wanted to create a poster that would relate the spotlight that will be on everyone during the exhibit. The spotlight produced in the poster is actually developed by the names of the graduating students from the various design disciplines. Therefore, in a sense we all, as a collective group, are illuminating a path of fresh design into the future.
25
02 SENIOR SHOW INFOGRAPHIC POSTER SHOW
26
This was an image based poster for the exhibit show, as compared to a purely typographic poster on the last page. In this poster, I took a different approach. I wanted to describe our collective group of new designers, as a fish new wave. A wave that would flood the market of design, with new and interesting ideas and solutions. I went with the gold and blue to represent the great variety and difference within our design styles. I then added even further dynamic with the diagonal columns of names of the graduating students, to further drive the message of our fresh design force.
27
03 WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
The entire focus of the senior year is around a single social issue topic. One that is both relevant in the current time and to the student doing the research. Since I became more health conscious, I decided to have my topic deal with the health problems of today. One of the key issues that no one seems to be talking about is the epidemic of sugar over consumption, and how dangerous it is for our bodies in large amounts.
03 WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
30
At the beginning of the campaign, I imagined the problem to be in the aspect that people did not know how much sugar they are consuming. An average American consumes 126g of sugar, or 38 teaspoons, per day, while we should only consumer around 30g. This is over consumption taken to an extreme, and people don’t realize that they are over consuming just by living a normal lifestyle. Therefore, my first focus was to showcase the large amount of overconsumption. However, from personal studies and questionnaires I did as research, I discovered that people knew they were overconsuming. They just didn’t care. They like the taste, so they drink it or eat it. Therefore I had to tweak my topic to actually discuss the effects of sugar on our bodies, like addiction and numerous health hazards. I also learned that you cannot just stop, at condemning them for eating poorly. You must show them ways out of the situation, by providing them with tools that they can use to make better choices about food and beverage purchases.

Dopamine is produced in the part of the brain that is associated with reward. When someone experiences a reward — say while eating a really good meal — their Dopamine level spikes. For addicts, the opposite is true: That spike in Dopamine only comes in anticipation of the reward, as opposed to the actual reward itself. Later, once the reward is gotten, the effects are blunted because the brain has been flooded with dopamine as it thought about eating. The Centers for Disease Control project a double- or triple-fold increase in the proportions of Americans with diabetes by 2050. On the low end, a study published in Population Health Metrics projects 21% of Americans will have diabetes. On the high end ... 33%. | http://mic.com/articles/88015/what-happens-to-your-brain-onsugar-explained-by-science
Brain on Sugar
Brain on Cocaine
In 2013, student-faculty research at Connecticut College found that in lab rats, Oreos, rich in sugar and fat, may be just as addictive as cocaine. Given the option of Oreos and rice cakes, the test rats spent as much time eating cookies as getting high on cocaine or morphine. This PET brain scans show chemical differences in the brain between addicts and non-addicts. These brain scans show that addicts have fewer than average dopamine receptors in their brains, so that the weaker dopamine signals are sent inbetween the cells.
So basically, Oreos are legal crack. A 2013 profile in the New York Times revealed the massive amount of scientific research big food companies have poured into developing tastier, more addictive products. Even the way they talk about marketing sugar-filled foods can sound an awful lot like discussing business with a drug dealer.
Student Jamie Honohan, who contributed to the study, added that “Even though we associate significant health hazards in taking drugs like cocaine and morphine, high-fat/ high-sugar foods may present even more of a danger because of their accessibility and affordability.”
And just like illegal drugs, large amounts of sugar can be very bad for you. In addition to obesity and diabetes, sugar can deeply affect your metabolism, impair brain function and make you more susceptible to heart disease and cancer. It can even form premature wrinkles. Given all this, it’s pretty likely you’re overconsuming. Almost 40% of children’s diets now come from added sugars and unhealthy fats. 35
“Signs of withdrawal become apparent when the abused substance is no longer available”
Dependence
Drug dependence is characterized by compulsive, sometimes uncontrollable, behaviors that occur at the expense of other activities and intensify with repeated access. Dependence is difficult to demonstrate, but criteria have been suggested using animals. We have used models that were developed with rats for studying drug dependence and adapted them to test sugar dependence.
Bingering
It is the escalation of intake with a high proportion of intake at one time, usually after a period of voluntary abstinence or forced deprivation. Enhanced intake in the form of binges may result from both sensitization and tolerance to the sensory properties of a substance of abuse that occurs with its repeated delivery.

Evidence for sugar addiction: Behavioral and neurochemical eects of intermittent, excessive sugar intake
Withdrawal
Signs of withdrawal become apparent when the abused substance is no longer available or chemically blocked. We will discuss withdrawal in terms of opiate withdrawal, which is a clearly defined set of symptoms. Anxiety can be operationally defined and measured in animals using the elevated plus-maze, in which anxious animals will avoid spending time on the maze.
Craving
Craving is increased efforts to obtain a substance of abuse or its associated cues as a result of addiction and abstinence. It is well established that addictive drugs activate DA-containing neurons in areas of the brain that process behavior reinforcement. Thus, any substance that repeatedly causes the release of DA or reduces DA reuptake at terminals via these circuits may be a candidate for abuse.

“Your body metabolizes fructose differently than sugar. It is actually metabolized directly into fat – factors that can cause a whole host of problems”
Most people view sugary foods as tasty, satisfying, and irresistible treats. But I believe that there are three words that can more accurately describe sugar: toxic, addicting, and deadly.
03 BODY ON SUGAR
SUGAR VS COCAINE SUGAR ADDICTION
Today, an average American consumes about 32 teaspoons of sugar per day. New numbers came out in February 2015. The Washington Post did a story on it using grams (4 grams = 1 tsp). They quoted Euromonitor’s study, which said Americans are now consuming 126 grams. More disturbingly is the fact people are consuming excessive sugar in the form of highfructose corn syrup. This highly processed form of sugar is cheaper, however it is 20 percent sweeter than regular sugar.

It tricks your body into gaining weight and affects your insulin and leptin signaling. Fructose fools your metabolism by turning off your body’s appetite-control system. It causes metabolic dysfunction. Eating too much sugar causes a barrage of symptoms known as classic metabolic syndrome. These include weight gain, abdominal obesity, decreased HDL and increased LDL, elevated blood sugar, elevated triglycerides, and high blood pressure. Yes, the same disease that you can get from excessive alcohol intake can also be caused by excessive sugar intake. Dr. Lustig explained the three similarities between alcohol and fructose: Your liver metabolizes alcohol the same way as sugar, as both serve as substrates for converting dietary carbohydrate into fat. This promotes insulin resistance, fatty liver, and dyslipidemia (abnormal fat levels in your blood). The bad news is that the human body is not made to consume excessive amounts of sugar, especially fructose. Your body metabolizes fructose differently than sugar. It is actually metabolized directly into fat – factors that can cause a whole host of problems that can have farreaching effects on your health. Here are some of the effects that consuming too much sugar has on your health:
Fructose undergoes the Maillard reaction with proteins. This causes superoxide free radicals to form, resulting in inflammation – a condition caused by acetaldehyde (ethanol metabolite). Fructose can directly and indirectly stimulate the brain’s “hedonic pathway,” creating habituation and dependence, the same as ethanol.
It overloads and damages your liver. The effects of too much sugar or fructose can be likened to the effects of alcohol. All the fructose you eat gets shuttled to the only organ that has the transporter for it: your liver. This severely overloads the organ, leading to liver damage.
39
What’s My Daily Allowance? There are two types of sugar - naturally occurring sugar like lactose in milk and added sugar, which includes table sugar (sucrose) as well as concentrated sources like fruit juice. The World Health Organization and UK’s official nutrition advisors recommend that only 5% of your daily calorie intake should consist of added sugars.

03 TRUTH ON SUGAR
SUGAR VS COCAINE SUGAR ADDICTION BODY ON SUGAR 40 SPOONS OF SUGAR FED UP: FILM
The instant ‘lift’ we get from sugar is one of the reasons we turn to it at times of celebration or when we crave comfort and reward. However, even those of us without a sweet tooth may be eating more than we realize because so many everyday foods contain sugar. But sugar is a carbohydrate found naturally in a host of different foods. We need some sugar in our diets to supply ready energy to fuel our muscles and keep our brains active. The problem is that many processed foods have added sugar which supplies energy in the form of calories and very little else. This means our body has to draw on the nutrients from the rest of our diet to process it and this can affect our health, including our immunity. A high intake of sugar causes our blood sugar levels to shoot up, followed by a crashing slump which leaves us tired, irritable and craving more sugary foods. It’s a vicious cycle that may be contributing to our weight problems as well as health concerns like diabetes and heart disease.

“This equates to approximately five-six teaspoons (25g) for women and seven-eight teaspoons (35g) for men.”
Look At The Label
Spot The Hidden Sugar
Discover how much sugar is in your food by doing these simple checks:
Low-fat and ‘diet’ foods often contain extra sugar to help improve their taste and palatability and to add bulk and texture in the place of fat. Even savory foods, like ready-made soups and sauces may contain added sugar. A can of soft drink, on average, contains the equivalent of seven teaspoons of sugar. The natural sugar in some fruit, including apples, has increased as new varieties (including Pink Lady, Fuji and Jazz) are bred to satisfy our desire for greater sweetness.
Look at the ‘carbs as sugars’ on the nutrition panel - this includes both natural and added sugars; less than 5g per 100g is low, more than 15g per 100g is high. Check the ingredients list for anything ending in ‘ose’ (glucose, sucrose, fructose, lactose, maltose) - these are all forms of sugar, as are honey, agave, molasses and syrups like corn and rice syrup. The higher up the ingredients list, the more sugar the product contains. Know your substitutes - for example xylitol, sorbitol and mannitol. These occur naturally in small amounts in plants and fruits and are often used in low-calorie products to provide sweetness but with fewer calories. Xylitol can be used in home-baking as a replacement for regular sugar although it won’t brown as much and it can’t be used where yeast is the raising agent.

Q: Was it fine to eat low-fat foods?
Q: You were focusing on foods perceived as healthy?
A: Very quickly things started to change. I put on a lot of weight very quickly. After 18 days, I developed signs of fatty liver. That was a huge turning point for the film. That’s when we started exploring a lot more of the science and then looking for people to interview and stories to tell in the film.
A: Yes. These are the foods with flowers and bees and sunsets on their labels. That’s the whole point of the film. If I had been eating chocolate doughnuts and soft drinks, we know what would have happened to me. But the fact that this happened when I was following the low-fat diet that we’ve all been prescribed for 35 years – that was surprising.

Q: What most surprising change that you noticed?
Q: Do you think people put too much faith in food labels?
A: My calorie intake didn’t change. What I was eating before – the avocados and nuts and other foods – are high in calories. So I kept a similar calorie intake. But on the diet with all the added sugars, I was snacking a lot more. I just never felt full, and it was affecting my moods. What I learned was that I was triggering insulin and all sorts of hormones that were trapping fat in my body.
A: Yes. There was a study done in Australia that found that 55 percent of people get their nutrition advice from food labels, compared with only 25 percent who get their advice from a nutritional advocate. That’s where we need integrity. People are taking at face value what these products tell them. We’re encouraging people to turn that label around, look at the sugar content, see through the marketing hype and the slogans and actually take control of what they’re putting in their bodies.

Upending the conventional wisdom of why we gain weight and how to lose it, Fed Up unearths a dirty secret of the American food industry-far more of us get sick from what we eat than anyone has previously realized. Filmmaker Stephanie Soechtig and TV journalist Katie Couric lead us through this potent exposÊ that uncovers whydespite media attention, the public’s fascination with appearance, and government policies to combat childhood obesity-generations of American children will now live shorter lives than their parents did.
FACTS
The film, Fed Up, displays various types of statistics, projections, and interviews from leading researchers in the field of nutrition. It also provides the viewer with the understanding of why sugar in high amounts is bad for our health and the cost it will have in the future.

Soda has been a major target in the debate over sugar and its role in the obesity crisis. But high levels of added sugars can be found in many seemingly healthful foods, from yogurts to energy bars and even whole-grain bread. A new movie called “That Sugar Film” seeks to educate consumers about the hazards of consuming too much added sugar, which can be found in an estimated 80 percent of all supermarket foods. The new documentary stars an Australian actor-director, Damon Gameau, who modeled his movie after “Super Size Me,” the 2004 film that followed Morgan Spurlock as he consumed an all-McDonald’s food diet for thirty days.
SUGAR: BITTER TRUTH 46
| http://thatsugarfilm.com
In “That Sugar Film,” which first had its debut in Australia this year, Mr. Gameau gives up his normal diet of fresh foods for two months to see what happens when he shifts to eating a diet containing 40 teaspoons of sugar daily, amount eaten by an average Australian. The twist is that Mr. Gameau avoids soda, ice cream, candy and other obvious sources of sugar. Instead, he consumes foods commonly perceived as “healthy” that are frequently loaded with added sugars.
Mr. Gameau finds that his health and waistline quickly spiral out of control. While the film is mostly entertainment, it tries to present the science of sugar in a consumer-friendly way, with helpful cameos from Hugh Jackman, Stephen Fry and others. It is also timely. Just last month, the federal government proposed a new rule that would require nutrition labels to carry details about added sugars, a measure that has faced resistance from the food industry.

By the end of the story, I hope I will have debunked the last 30 years of nutrition information in America. And I would very much appreciate if at the end of the talk you would tell me whether or not I was successful or not. Now in order to talk about the environment we need to talk about what is obesity, and of course, you’re all familiar with the basic concept of the first law of thermodynamics, which states that the total energy inside a closed system remains constant. Now in human terms, the standard interpretation of this law is the following: If you eat it, you better burn it or you can store it.
Now let’s talk about calorie intake, because that’s what today is about. We’re going to talk about the energy intake side of the equation. Sure enough we are all eating more now than we did 20 years ago. Teen boys are eating 275 calories more. American adult males are eating 187 calories more per day. American adult females are eating 335 calories more per day. No question. We’re all eating more. Question is why? There is a system in our body which you’ve heard about over the last couple of weeks called leptin. It’s a hormone that comes from your fat cell, tells your brain “You know what, I’ve had enough. I don’t need to eat anymore. I am done and I can burn energy properly”.
49
But nonetheless there are 275 calories we have to account for. So where are they? Are they in the fat? No, they are not in the fat. 5 grams 45 calories out of the 275, nothing. In fact, it’s all in the carbohydrate. 57 grams, 228 calories, we’re all eating more carbohydrate.
03 SUGAR : THE BITTER TRUTH SUGAR VS COCAINE SUGAR ADDICTION BODY ON SUGAR TRUTH ON SUGAR
It ain’t the fat people. It ain’t the fat. So what is it? Well, it’s the carbohydrate. Specifically, which carbohydrate? Well, beverage intake – 41% increase in soft drinks, 35% increase in fruit drinks, fruit aids, whatever you want to call them. Just remember down here, one can of soda a day is 150 calories, multiply that by 365 days a year and then divide that by the magic number of 3500 calories per pound, if you eat or drink 3500 calories more than you burn, you will gain 1 pound of fat. And that’s the first law of thermodynamics. No argument there. That’s worth 15.5 pounds of fat per year. One soda a day is 15.5 pounds per year. Now you’ve all heard that before. That’s not news to you.

High fructose corn syrup. The bottom line is this is something we were never exposed to before 1975. And currently we are consuming 63 pounds per person per year – everyone of us. 63 pounds of high fructose corn syrup. One of the reasons we use high fructose corn syrup is because it’s sweeter. Here is sucrose. This is cane or beet sugar, standard-table sugar, you know, the white stuff. And we give that an index in sweetness of 100. So here is high fructose corn syrup. It’s actually sweeter. It’s about 120. So you should be able to use less, right? Wrong. We use just as much. In fact, we use more. High fructose corn syrup and sucrose are exactly the same. They are both equally bad. They are both dangerous. They are both poison. I said it: poison. My charge before the end of tonight is to demonstrate that fructose is a poison.
Prior to World War II, before it got rationed again, we were up to about 16 to 24, about 20 grams. So a small increase from the beginning of the century to World War II. Then in 1977, just as high fructose corn syrup was hitting the market, we had increased that, we had basically doubled up to 37 grams per day or 8% of total caloric intake. By 1994 we were up to 55 grams of the stuff per day. Remember if you want to do sugar, then double the number. So that’s 10.2. So you can see that more and more of our caloric intake, a higher percentage is being accounted for by sugar every single year. So it’s not just that we are eating more. We are eating more sugar. And for an adolescent today we are up to almost 75 grams, 12% of total caloric intake. 25% of the adolescents today consume at least 15% of their calories from fructose alone. This is a disaster.

05 SWEET ADDICTION THE PROCESS THE CLOCK
As one of our introductory projects for this campaign, is to design a clock that displays a unique aspect of how our issue is relevant in time. The overconsumption of sugar traces back to the decisions we make on an hourly basis, about what exactly we eat. I wanted to display how the over consumption of sugar looks as the day goes by.
05 THE PROCESS
THE CLOCK
54
This is an exercise I did to wrap my head around displaying dime in a different manner, than with simple arrows that point to numbers. I developed two different systems that displayed time, though both are different in design than ordinary clocks.
overconsumption of SUGAR
sweet
addiction
The title of the clock turned out to be the foundation for the whole campaign on sugar consumption. I developed many different layouts, word combinations, and even tried to ask the viewer read the logo with the use of symbols.
I eventually arrived at Sweet Addiction. There is a contradiction between the words, that actually adds to the story and the way I understood the social issue. It is about how people are becoming addicts by consuming sugar on an hourly basis.
55
05 THE PROCESS
THE CLOCK
56
This displays a path I have taken to develop my clock. I was very interested by the fact that we consume 126g of sugar per day, while dietitians suggest that we should be eating around 30g per day. Therefore, I decided to show how sugar builds up in our bodies, as we go about our day.
So I photographed different types of sugar, under various light sources, to create a texture that I would later use to visually build up sugar levels. Here is the original image that I wanted to use. However, I wanted to make the clock dark, to really drive the negative connotation of addiction, and make sugar look like a drug. This after some editing, I inverted the colors, which actually made the sugar appear more vibrant.
57
05 THE PROCESS
THE CLOCK
58
I applied a red filter to parts of the texture to drive the point of overconsumption and addiction to sugar, that happens on a daily basis. The white region of the latter designs, actually shows the small amount of sugar that our bodies need for healthy nutrition. The middle red circle represents the barrier that we cross everyday, by our choices to eat sugary foods. And this barber can be crossed at any minute, therefore I actually made the minute hand the red circle. And the middle portion displays the sugar formula, which represents the presence of sugar in our bodies.
59
05 THE CLOCK
THE PROCESS
60
This clock displays the daily overconsumption of sugar, or chemically known as C12H22O11. The red ring represents the barrier of the healthy daily sugar intake, which is about 30g. Therefore, the center portion of the clock is white. Statistics show that if you try to eat healthy products, you actually consume 30g of sugar by lunch. So all that time until you go to bed counts as over consumption. The red section.
I hope this clock makes people understand that on average we are over consuming sugar by four times. This overconsumption is generated by our addition to the sweet sugary foods and beverages. Though, it is not just our fault. Almost all food items have now been packed with sugar, to increase the taste. Please, be aware of what you eat.

This social issue of sugar overconsumption is an interesting one. Many people already know that sugar is sort of bad, but they still eat large amounts of it. So it is a challenge to further the thinking that has been so stagnant over the last few decades. I developed numerous ideas on how to battle ignorance towards sugar consumption.

My first goal was to influence people to simply not eat sugar, or at least the really sugary foods. I personally tried to go sugar free for a week, and quickly realized who almost impossible it is to go without consuming sugar. Almost every product has some sugar added to it to enhance its taste. Thus, I had to change my goal to be in sync with the reality of the situation in the food market.

Also it is important to note that I realized the fact that our bodies need a certain amount of sugar, as a source of energy for our bodies and especially brain activity. That explains the reason why they say chocolate helps study, because the brain uses a lot of energy to operate, and most of the energy is produced by using sucrose in the bloodstream. Also, our bodies use some sugar as energy storage, in the form of fat. However, the more sugar we consume, the more fat our body produces. So the problem really lies in finding the balance for sugar and our bodies.

68
How can visual communication help to make this social issue apparent and can it actually be used to find a solution? I think it can. By using strong visuals, I can create different poster campaigns or social media images that tell the story about sugar overconsumption.
Currently the nutritional label is very neutral in text hierarchy, so it is hard to actually comprehend what you are looking at. So if you don’t know what you are looking for, you are pretty lost of what things mean. There are grams, percentages, cal, but nothing that we can actually visualize and understand without some education in nutrition. There have already been some label redesigns, that actually focus on using text hierarchy to display the information that is most important for a consumer to know. Also, it attempts to resolve the serving size vagueness.

So with further research and attempting to use my research on my own eating habits, I began to understand the problem much deeper. I realized that the problem of sugar is not just fat, there are more serious effects that it has on our bodies.
One specific way that sugar dangerously impacts our bodies is by taking over our brain function. Sugar has been compared to cocaine, in that they are both highly addictive and take over our brain function. And the more sugar we consume, the worse this addiction becomes. Some people are at the point where their bodies crave sweets, and they cannot mentally handle looking at sweets and not eating them.

72
Another hazardous way that sugar impacts us is by impacting the liver function. When the sugar enters the digestive system, it breaks into sucrose and fructose. While the sucrose is released into the bloodstream, the fructose is digested by the liver. In the liver the sugar is absorbed by the insulin from the pancreas, to turn this excess sugar into fat. That is the normal function, but when sugar is over consumed it creates many problems. On of these problems is a fat liver,
which starts to work worse at capturing all the toxins that we consume throughout the day. And it further effects the red blood cell count in your blood, which hinders your heart, and how the rest of your body receives its nutrients. And worst of all, the insulin is not as replenishable as people assume, and in time it can completely stop producing insulin. When that happens, you become diabetic, and must inject insulin into your body to control you blood sugar level.

In this animation for the campaign, I wanted to start out by explaining the problem as a metaphor. We all know about he history of the tobacco industry. In its early days, smoking was deemed as non addictive and relaxing or distressing. However, once the research was done on tobacco, people quickly realised that it was not as harmless as it looked at first.
The same story is now happening within the sugar industry. A product that is delicious and exciting for our brains and taste buds, now looks to be just as harmful and just as addicting. Hopefully, that metaphor made the viewer realize that sugar might actually not be that friendly.

I will show how many grams of sugar is within a product, and actually how much percentage of that product is sugar. I feel like that point may be even more powerful
than the grams, because the size in grams is not easily comprehensible. And additionally I will also display how much sugar that product has, in comparison to a healthy daily amount.

You just have to scan the nutrition facts label, and the app will read the needed information and add it to the things you have already eaten.
Therefore throughout the day, you know exactly where you are in comparison to your food goals. This will help people see what food they should avoid, and also let them know if they are over consuming in any specific area, for example sugar.
In the week mode, you will be able to jump to any day in the week, to review your success or look at things you need to improve upon. This will hopefully make people more conscious about their long term food habits, as well as their day to day habits.

I have done a lot of research over the last year, to grasp a good enough handle on the topic of sugar overconsumption. I did not include all of the sources in the book that I have used to gather knowledge on the topic. Though here are the sources to the online articles that I discussed in the research portion of the book. Each source has its original title and a url link to the full article.
