How does lawmaking work in the EU? What’s the difference between the European Council and the Council of the European Union (EU)? As the world’s first supranational organization, even those familiar with political unions may find the different policies and institutions involved in the EU complicated and difficult to understand. To help beginners and experts alike, UNC Center for European Studies intern Brett Harris decided to make a series of infographics explaining some of the main EU processes.

The Research Hub Data Visualization Services Librarian provided Harris with advice on branding, visual identity and hierarchy, and design choices through one-on-one consultations. Learn more about the lessons Harris learned with this project, including notes from his meetings with our Data Visualization Services Librarian and a breakdown of how four of his infographics progressed from initial conception to final product.
