Infographics

Sketch for the "Leaky Pipeline" infographic request.

The original pipeline was a pictured as a straight path where the water slowly became less, but with no apparent reason. This could have been interpreted as lack of women interested in the field, or many other ways, but it would not have been interpreted as the client desired. 

After studying and discussing, I determined the use of taps and faucets along the way that constrict the flow of water could better represent the data: 
The decrease in space within the pipeline (system) from various flaws within the system (taps), cause a narrowing where the water (women) can or cannot move through to the faucet (full potential career).
