A 2:3 vertical science infographic led by a translucent glass bottle, on how waste glass at sea becomes frosted beach gems.
Switch the background to cream white
The background changes from light mint green to cream white; the layout is unchanged.
Design itMake a 2:3 science infographic explaining how waste glass that ends up in the ocean becomes the frosted colored stones people pick up on the beach. A large translucent glass bottle is the main visual, its cork labeled “The Formation Process”. Six small scenes in sequence show glass entering the sea, tumbling and breaking, being rounded by tides and sand, soaking into a frosted texture, washing ashore, and being picked up and made into objects; each gets a number and a line or two of caption, linked to the bottle with dashed lines. Three knowledge blocks cover definition, sources and common types: the definition pairs with a beach cross-section; the sources pair with nine icons — wine bottle, canning jar, tableware, window glass, vase, glass beads, art glass, lampshade and insulator; each type pairs with a shard illustration. Two knowledge blocks cover time scale and uses: highlight “20–30 years”, with four circular icons for location, wave energy, rocky or sandy seabed, and acidity; finished pieces include necklaces, framed art, wreaths and wind chimes. A color chart uses shards to mark common and rare colors with their original glass sources: emerald green comes from beer bottles, brown from whiskey bottles, clear is the most common, plus ten rare colors. Light mint green base with coral orange accents.
Retitle the cork
The cork label changes from “The Formation Process” to “The Life of Sea Glass”; the layout is unchanged.
