Animation: From Mines to Mobile Phones

Design Challenge: The Enough Project wanted to try and explain the complicated and messy relationship between metals and minerals mined in Congo and popular personal electronic devices. They wanted to raise awareness about the connection between our consumer goods and terror and bloodshed in Africa.

Solution: We pared down several pages of notes on the flow of minerals from Congo, to Asia, then to the U.S. into a short, clear, one-page script, then used a vector world man as the base to animate the narrative, adding in some photographic elements and text to help provide signposts and highlight key ideas.
