The 5-Day Reset
Visualizing the Science of Fasting
How do you make five days of complex physiological changes easy to understand at a glance?
I organized my research into 4 categories: cellular, energy, hormonal, and systemic changes. Then, I mapped the data across five days, identifying the changes' timing.
Layout
Then, I placed the data on a continuous vertical timeline that connects each stage, making complex changes easier to follow.
Colour Palette
Gradual colour intensification along the timeline visually reinforces the deepening physiological effects as fasting progresses.
The starry sky background mirrors the idea of changes happening in the "inner universe" of the fasting person.
Typography
Bold headlines capture attention, while contrasting type styles establish hierarchy and improve readability.
Iconography
Custom illustrations simplify biological processes, while flowing pathways connect changes across time.
Final Design
Five days of complex science, transformed into one visual journey through the human body.
