Research and design

I referenced NASA’s stellar evolution data and academic research on nuclear fusion and gravitational physics. I translated these findings into a structured, visually compelling narrative using principles of information hierarchy and infographic design best practices.

For visual direction, I drew inspiration from Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell, adopting their approach to bold color palettes, clean vector graphics, and intuitive diagram flow. These choices allowed the piece to remain educational while maintaining a visually engaging, modern aesthetic.
