This project was part of a third-year elective in Narrative Information Design, where the brief was to create a series of designs that told the story of a native New Zealand bird. I chose the takahē, celebrated for its vivid colours and remarkable history of near extinction and recovery.

The first stage explored information design through a series of posters that combined statistics, historical context and conservation efforts into clear, engaging layouts. In the second stage, I extended the narrative into motion, producing a short film that layered original footage with designed graphics to create a visual story about the takahē’s survival.

The project became both an exercise in structuring complex information and an exploration of how design and storytelling can bring ecological history to life.
