The book researches the issue of violence against women in India by gathering information from a variety of sources
It specifically focuses on examining the rates of criminal convictions related to these incidents and utilizes a range of data visualizations and analyses to substantiate its claims.
To maintain a sense of fairness in addressing this sensitive topic and ensure broad appeal, the book features a monochromatic cover and employs a warm yet minimal color palette, complemented by strong visual graphics and typography in an unconventional layout design.
Book Overview
The total number of violent incidents in 2016 was among the most ever recorded at 1,32,122, a 67.58% rise from the previous year.
To comprehend how a delicate subject might be represented with data, it is crucial to analyze and visualize this data.
The dataset mentioned above is obtained from the source "Mapping Women Violence".
This dataset includes various details, such as state names, the number of reported and unreported cases, year-wise statistics on molestation, rape, and murder cases, and more.
This dataset was later analyzed using PowerBI to get the desired information.

Design Methodology #2: Cover Page Exploration
Design Methodology #1: Layout Explorations
As I explored various layout approaches with text and images, I aimed to enhance readability and uniformity in the book about police brutality. I developed low-fidelity wireframes as a blueprint, ensuring design aspects remained harmonious throughout. The objective was to produce a series of layouts for the book, assessed for their efficacy in delivering the intended message. The thoughtful placement of text and visuals culminated in a design that was visually appealing, user-friendly, and reinforced the book's overall theme.
I used a two-step approach to display data and observations from various datasets, including information obtained from websites.
I started by sketching visualizations to determine the best representation method and effectively communicate insights.
Once I had a clear understanding, I turned the sketches into polished graphics to effectively convey the information to the audience.
