Description
I worked with Shower Thoughts™ founder, Amanda Horn, to bring these 7 dimensions of water wellness to life. The goal was to visualize water wellness through a systems lens, connecting personal wellbeing to planetary health. When we protect the world's bodies of water, we are also protecting ourselves.
Thumbnail Sketches
The 7 dimensions of water wellness illustrate how the wellbeing of humanity is directly connected to the wellbeing of the world's bodies of water, and how water influences all aspects of our lives. I began with rough thumbnail sketches to explore various layouts that highlight the interconnectivity of the dimensions. I wanted to ensure that where was no hierarchy and that the whole page felt fluid.
The 7 Dimensions of Water Wellness are:
💧Physical - water sustains us
💧Emotional - water calms us
💧Social - water as a gathering place
💧Intellectual - water sparks creativity
💧Environmental - water connects places
💧Occupational - water is a shared responsibility
💧Spiritual - water is the original mirror for humanity

Refined Sketches
We moved forward with the wheel option, as the circular layout was best suited to show that all of these dimensions are equally important. I experimented with a half-wheel option, but the full wheel was still the most immersive and striking layout. I also explored 3 different style for the people.
Final Illustration
The finished illustration was created in a monocolour palette with a hand-drawn feel.
