STOCK CHECK, Infographic about earth’s non-renewable resources

The main focus of the project were the years remaining before a certain resource has been depleted (assuming that current consumption trends continue and recycling makes up to 25% of the demand). There are 24 vital mineral resources listed, broken up into three rows and the three main fossil fuels – petroleum, natural gas and coal in a separate column on the right.

My representation of the data is a kind of a periodic table with a pop-up book twist which I felt as a visually stimulating approach to the usual flat print project. The paper graphs are to be printed on a separate sheet, cut, folded and glued considering the marks on the A0 base-sheet. Stock Check is meant to be more of a wall-reference/datavis than the classic storytelling infographic where conclusions are already drawn for you.
