The Journey of Natural Gas

Short book and animation showing the process and uses of natural gas

For this project, I was tasked with making a visual narrative of the process of how natural gas is made and used. I decided on a vertical opening of my book so that it flows with the idea of drilling and the dichotomy of under and above ground. To also emphasize this contrast as well as the theme of warmth, I chose a color palette that features warm and cool tones of blues and neutrals. I combined found images and simple graphic illustrations to communicate the story of natural gas as well as the harmful history in its past and present.

I thought that it was important to include some of the negative impacts of natural gas drilling such as oil spills, destruction of forests and areas of rich vegetation, and infringement on indigenous rights and land. I included these images in more subtle ways so that it takes the viewer a close look to see these consequences. Lastly, I made a short animated video to bring more action to the project and follow the complex journey of natural gas from extraction to your home.
