Being one of the largest cities in the world, Shanghai attracts hundreds of millions of outsiders to live in the city. As they try to integrate into their resting and working environments, the light, as one of themost important aspect in evaluating living condition, shall have a clear and direct way to be presented to these people.

Based on my interviews, secondary researches and my own experience living in Shanghai, I design the visualization concepts to represent the information of various types of light sources, light pollution, and light obstructions. The booklet categorizes the information by administrative districts and time periods to facilitate people who lack knowledge of Shanghai to check information clearly and quickly.

In addition, based on the city development planning guidelines and photographs, I also artistically displayed Shanghai's overall light environment with illustrations and maps to reflect the city's colorful charm.
