Hydration tips worth a sip

A personal project that turns practical hydration tips into a fun, easy to follow infographic. Part reminder and part inspiration, it’s the kind of thing you’d pin up by your desk so you remember to refill your water bottle every day.

Hydration and daily wellness

The brief

I gave myself a challenge: take everyday hydration advice and make it fun enough that people actually remember it. Health tips are everywhere, and most of them get scrolled right past, so I wanted this one to feel friendly, playful and worth a second look.

What I did

I paired each tip with its own visual, so the infographic reads at a glance and the advice actually sticks. Every asset on it was made from scratch in Adobe Illustrator. Before designing anything, I put together a design brief, which kept the colours, type and style consistent from the first tip to the very last one.

How it went

I shared it with friends and other designers, and they loved it. A few even asked for a printed copy to keep nearby as a daily reminder to drink more water.

What I learned: this was one of my very first design projects, before I had any real experience. Somewhere between drawing my first icons and fussing over colours, I realized this wasn’t just a fun side project, it was what I wanted to do for a living. I'm living proof that dreams do come true!
