This infographic is the central solution to the unique challenges of diabetic education at the Greenville Free Medical Clinic. Specifically, the infographic addresses low literacy and low vision and inconsistent attendance.

 

The reliance on reductive illustration accommodates low vision and literacy. Simple drawings are easier to see than complex photos. Visuals do not require reading abilities. Finally, the typography employees high contrast and large size to accommodate those with Diabetic Retinopathy. 

 

One-and-done patients are a common problem at the clinic. This infographic facilitates informed lifestyle change in just one visit. The diabetic educator can counsel the patient and send him or her home with this infographic.

 

The appearance is imbued with visual semantics. Chiefly, the overall aesthetic is simple as to be approachable and unassuming—despite challenging content and a challenged audience. The dotted lines and banners reference those that one might find on an old map, suggesting a protracted, nonlinear journey. The colors connote hope, growth, and trustworthiness. 

 

All illustrations are original.
