Streaming Services:
The Fast Track To Piracy
Online piracy decreased with the popularity of streaming services like Netflix, as shows became easy to watch and to afford. However, as more and more streaming services are being created and the rights to popular shows are being spread across multiple platforms, piracy has started to increase again. This brochure aims to bring awareness to this issue by providing information in the form of infographics.
Process
The fast track to piracy
The goal of this project was to create an informative folding brochure aiming to bring awareness to the issue by providing statistics on piracy, exclusivity and price of various streaming services. The brochure unfolds fully to reveal a large poster that could be hung on an individual's wall.
Research and Planning
The first phrase of the project was conducting research and creating a report on the issue. This took the form of a research report where I compiled all the information I could find around the subject. During this process, I defined exactly what the social issue I was addressing was and what I was advocating for with the brochure: a call to regulate the exclusivity of streaming platforms.
Storytelling
With a goal in mind, I had to choose the information that would best serve in making the point. The first thing I had to consider was the amount of space I had to give my information and the order that the information would be taken in. This came down to making a small folding mockup of the larger brochure and deciding what information should be given to a reader first
Graphing
In order to confirm that the information could properly fit, I made simple, rudimentary versions of my infographics to give me an idea of the amount of space I would need to lay the information out properly.
Layout and Design
After I had my temporary graphs, I began laying out the brochure and styling the graphs. I knew that my final poster piece at the end would use many colours so I decided to keep the rest of the graphics simple by using two shades of red and beige background.
