The COVID-19 pandemic, also known as the coronavirus pandemic, is an ongoing global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). It was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 20 January 2020, and later a pandemic on 11 March 2020. As of 29 March 2021, more than 127 million cases have been confirmed, with more than 2.78 million deaths attributed to COVID-19, making it one of the deadliest pandemics in history. Symptoms of COVID-19 are highly variable, ranging from none to life-threatening illnesses. The virus spreads mainly through the air when people are near each other. It leaves an infected person as they breathe, cough, sneeze, or speak and enters another person via their mouth, nose, or eyes.
Human behavior is the major factor. State and local governments, as well as individual people, differ in their response to the pandemic. Some follow COVID-19 precautions, such as physical distancing, hand-washing, and mask-wearing. Others are not as prescriptive in requiring these measures or in restricting certain high-risk activities.
In some cities, towns, and communities, public places are closed or practicing limitations (such as how many people are allowed inside at one time). Some government and community leaders encourage or even mandate mask-wearing and physical distancing in public areas.
However, the relationship between those precautions and cases of COVID-19 is clear: In areas where fewer people are wearing masks and more are gathering indoors to eat, drink, observe religious practices, celebrate and socialize, even with family, cases are on the rise. So this video demonstrates how dangerous the Covid-19 virus could be and its impact on the world so people will take more precautions.
To further have a clearer direction about the visuals of the project, I sketched some wireframes. This helped me to make a good-looking design I am satisfied with.
Once I was happy with the wireframes, I started to create each video comp in Illustrator. Keeping in mind the target audience has a wide range from kids, parents, teenages to elderly people, therefore, I had to make sure to keep the interface clear and easy to read.
This video demonstrates how dangerous the Covid-19 virus could be and its impact on the world so people will take more precautions. The motive of the video is to educate the public and make them aware. The video is proposed to be played in public waiting areas, hospitals, schools, and transits.
Working on this project has made me explore more into after effects animations and InfoFraphics creation.
● Motion Design
● Illustration and Asset Creation
● Video Editing
To create the main design layout & vectors I used Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop & to animate and create the video After Effects was used.
